Hi,
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder of skin characterised with white patches.
Levamisole which you take is immunobuster.
It definitely helps to halt the progress of vitiligo as well as to get the color back.
You continue to take it for long time.
Along with it, you may take psoralen containing tablet.
You apply psoralen containing cream during day time and expose the sun for 5 min.
You apply tacrolimus 0.1 percent oint. at night.
I think, you will be improved.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
