White patch due to steroid

2024-05-17 17:30:22
I had used occupol dx ointment containing dexamethasone  for blepharitis intermittently for 3-4 months.4 months after stopping ,I started developing white patches around both eyes. It's been around 5 months  since then and iam using tacrolimus as per another doctors advice and there is around 40% repigmentation. Is this  side effect ie.hypopigmentation completely reversible ?how long will it take to repigment completely ? I have attached picture for reference.
