Hello,
As per your case history of vitiligo, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a placentrax gel twice daily on the affected skin.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral psoralen and phototherapy done by a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
