The treatment of vitiligo depends on the extent of involvement and also on the current activity status of the disease. A surgical procedure for correction of patches should be undertaken only when the disease has been inactive for at least 6 months for good results.. But you can meet a qualified dermatologist who an guide you properly. Meet a dermatologist directly for a proper evaluation of the condition. Hope this was helpful.
