Hi,

As you said you have vitiligo. Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease with genetic tendency. You consult nearby dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Psoralen compound like trimethoxalen 25 mg daily in morning may be taken. Immunomodulator like levamisole 50 mg daily at night. You may apply trimethoxalen lotion on patches at noon followed by sun exposure 5 min. You may apply mometasone at night. Avoid vitamin C containing food. Keep patience. You may feel better after few weeks or months. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
