Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.

Vitiligo cannot be cured, but many treatments help to restore lost skin color.

Other than the drugs mentioned by you, many dermatologists use -
1. potent or super-potent topical corticosteroid for local application
2. Light treatment to repigment the skin
3. PUVA light therapy which uses UVA light and a medicine called psoralen to restore skin color.

Kindly take help form Dermatologist and go for the best suited one for your needs.
All the best.
