HI,
Welcome to HCM.
Sorry to say that there is no magic treatment for vitiligo. Its' treatment options are slowly responsive and somewhat frustating.
But all of these response very well for some individual.
Don,t be hopeless.
I like to suggest you the following
you could apply Eledel cream/ ointment (a pimacrolimus) twice daily for several months and need follow up monthly.
