How To Diagnose Puntuated Vitiligo At The Lower Part Of The Leg?

I think I have punctuated vitiligo. Mostly in the lower part of my legs (a lot since many years and increasing) and less in my forearms, but the ones in the arms are getting some color from sun exposure. I am 60, healthy and in good shape. I am a woman, italian, living in Arizona (usa). I always exposed my skin to the sun for short periods and good protection. Can anything be done for the estethics of it? Thanks
