White Patches On Lips, Eyes, Ears. Using Flucort H Cream. Will It Work On Old Patches?
I have white patches and used to apply Flucort H cream. I noticed changes but since more patches were noticed elsewhere on my body and application of cream to all areas takes a long time daily I discontinued about 5 years back. Now I want to at least bring colour changes for few small patches on lips , around the eyes , ears. Will application of Flucort to the old patches bring any benefits now. Please advise. Does it require exposure to sun after application of flucort.

Hello
Welcome!
I would be pleased to answer your question .
No , application of Flucort will not bring color back in the patches .
You will first need to get a Wood' s lamp test done at the Dermatology clinic .
and once the pigmentation in the patch is assessed for , you can consider a the peptide and tacrolimus treatments which will need a prescription from your Dermatologist .
thanks and take care

Flucort is steriod and it is less effective in Vitilligo cases
Only 8 MOP regimen with clobetasol cream or ViTiLix cream..,
will effective and combination with UV therapy (PUVA therapy)
will give very good results...,
Tab Dicaris...150 mg weekly once..,
