Hi,

The white patches on both the eyelids suggest vitiligo which is usually an auto-immune disease causes less pigmentation of the skin. The medicine your daughter is using are all fine for the treatment of vitiligo. Zincovit syrup is a nutritional supplement which helps your daughter to improve her overall functions including skin. Melbild lotion contains basic fibroblast growth factors which is an excellent option for vitiligo. Pacroma contains pimecrolimus which reduces the redness and inflammation around the area. Cartipred-8 contains steroids which act to reduce the immunity as vitiligo is usually an auto-immune so it helps in this way. Finally, I should say the medicine your daughter has been given is all fine for the treatment of vitiligo. use them according to your doctor's prescription.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
