Hi,
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that occurs due to antibodies produced by the own body against the melanin pigment. Destruction of color giving melanin causes white patches all over the body. Main treatment is immuno-suppression. Steroids are useful in vitiligo. In your case, instead of steroid injection, topical application can be done to reduce side effects. Phototherapy can also be added.
Hope that was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
