Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have gone through your history and treatment adviced to you is fine.
No further tests are required and your copper deficiency will also resolve with antoxid capsules.
No need of any other oral medication for copper deficiency.
If you have vitiligo only over the palm and it is not increasing or spreading to other body parts this treatment is sufficient.
The response will take time to occur and you need to continue this treatment for 3-4 months to see any response.

Dr Asmeet
