I'm 30 Suffering from acne vulgaris from many years. Taken sotret 20mg...azithromycin and applied acnedap,clyndamycin,deriva..adapalene gel and so on. Rightnow taking minoz od capsule. But the prob is I took medrol 8mg for few days last year and after that on my eyebrow I'm seeing some white patches. I feel it's vitiligo.But I want to get this doubt clear that is that white patch is coz of medrol side effect.Can medrol cause vitiligo? Coz only after medrol those white patches came around eyebrow

No it will not cause vitiligo. I cannot be sure until I see the patches that it is vitiligo. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice
