Rosuvastatin (roasvel) is one of the most powerful and widely used drug for controlling cholesterol, the skin manifestation with statin, if a llergic type of rash, a blemish which may cause itching. It causing vitiligo of whitish spot are not known of. The liver enzymes you mentioned are borderline high, normal values in most labs I know is upto 40 IU, however as per definition you should only completely stop the drug if it causes liver enzyme to increase more than 10 times normal. However you can decrease the dose to 5mg and use more holistic ways like dirt modifications, or supplements like omega 3 fatty acid 1-2 gm s a day,
