There is currently no complete cure for vitiligo, but treatments can help restore skin colour and prevent further spread in long-standing cases. Treatment options include topical creams, such as corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, which are often used in combination with phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB. Please consult a dermatologist to select the most suitable treatment for your condition and monitor progress regularly.
