Suggest An Alternative To Melgain Ointment For Treatment Of Vitiligo?
Hello Sir, I have one white patch on lower part of my stomach since my childhood. I visited the Max Hospital Gurgaon for 3-4 times. Dr. diagnosed it as Vitiligo. He advice me the following things; Melgain ointment and a cream (i don t remember the name right now) Now i am traveling to USA for one year and i forgot to carry the extra Melgain with me. The treatment is showing positive results and pigments are appearing on affected area. I don t want to change the treatment. Please suggest; what i should do?? Please help me Dr. Please suggest if anything equivalent is available here in US.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Melgain and similar medicines are not available over the counter. They are prescription medicines in the US.
Take care.
