Dermatologist, Dr. Pavithra Gundappa's Response

Hello

Have a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Avoid junk and unhealthy food.

Stress can aggravate vitiligo. There are lot many options for treatment of vitiligo. However with treatment, it will take 3 to 6 months to know the results. If a particular treatment doesn't respond, then other options will be tried. You need to have lot of patience. Please consult your dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pavithra Gundappa, Dermatologist
