Hi,
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune skin disease with genetic tendency. It may spread following minor injuries to the skin. If there is family history, it may take very long time for recovery or may be resistant to treatment. Still, one has to try different medicines to get good result.
You may follow treatment as below under observation of dermatologist...
- tab trimethoxsalen 25 mg daily in morning
- tab levamisole 50 mg at night as immunomodulator
- trimethoxalen lotion application on extremities and to expose sun for 5 min
- tacrolimus oint 0.1% application on face areas
Continue treatment for few months to few years or till satisfactory result.. Have patience for good result. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
