Hi,

You said you suffer from vitiligo on lower lip. Itis resistant condition..so, poorly responding to treatment. I would recommend you to apply tacrolimus 0.1% lotion on the patches thrice a day for long time.

Avoid rubbing,trauma and squeezing the skin of lip... which may precipitate the vitiligo,

Hope this helps.
