Hi,
Vitiligo is an autoimmune and partly genetic skin disease. It is a harmless condition. Patient dose not have any debility except cosmetic look. If you do not feel bad with this depigmentation, you may avoid treatment. If you want to take treatment, you consult dermatologist. He may examine you thoroughly and then he might decide the strategy of treatment according to the severity of the disease. Trimethoxsalen,levamisole,bavchi..etc may be given to you by your doctor in proper dose. Psoralenoint or lotion,decapeptidelotion,tacrolimus oint or pimecrolimus cream...etc may be applied on the patches. Recovery takes long duration,so you should keep patience. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
