Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Vitiligo is a difficult to treat disease.
Allergy testing is not useful. NBUVB is the latest treatment for sustained results.
Vitiligo can return after successful treatment.Maintenance treatments may be required for longer duration's.
Please visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
