Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
There are various modalities of treatment for vitiligo including phototherapy, Various oral and topical medications like psoralens. But it is a long term treatment with pigmentation showing effect within 2-3 months. it is a not a completely curable disease but can be controlled with medications.
Surgical advise is given in case of limited and stable vitiligo.
You may discuss this with your doctor.
good luck.
