Brief Answer:
Topical steroid & tacrolimus ointment

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
In cases of vitiligo I usually recommend my patients to apply topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas in the morning and tacrolimus ointment on the white patches at night.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see a doctor to get them.
