I have had leucoderma since the age of 6. What medicines should I take to treat it?

Asked by Female, 28 · 6 days ago

Leucoderma (vitiligo) treatment depends on the extent of the patches and whether the condition is currently active. Standard medical treatments include prescription topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors (such as tacrolimus) to help repigment the skin. For widespread areas, phototherapy (narrowband UVB light treatment) is highly effective. If the patches are spreading rapidly, oral medications may be temporarily prescribed to stabilise them. Because these treatments require careful monitoring to avoid side effects, please consult a dermatologist. They will evaluate your skin and prescribe a safe, personalised treatment plan. Please avoid self-medicating.
