White spots first appeared and was spreading rapidly on my lips, hand & leg palms around 14-15 years ago. So my family consulted a doctor for me and with her treatment the spread stopped, and the treatment continued for 3-3.5 years under her observation. After that we consulted another doctor as there was no progress ( although we knew that treatment of vitilligo is very slow or not possible) and the treatment continued for another 5 year with out much improvement and we stopped the treatment completely. But for last 4 year I observed that the white spots on my palms disappearing without any kind of treatment and now 80% white are disappeared. Any cut or damage on skin leaves white spot for vitiligo affected people but in my case (last 4-5 year) the skin gain its natural color after such damage. I think there is some hope that the white spot on my lips can be cured with proper medical treatment. Attached 2 picture for review.

Thanks for the query.
Vitiligo is an auto immune condition with long term treatment plans. Lip is a difficult area to treat and most resistant. If you have tried medical therapy and not achieved desired results, you can consider suction blister grafts, a sort of surgery performed for Vitiligo. It requires expertise to perform and results take few months to be visible. There are other surgical methods as well, but this will be most beneficial in your case. The prerequisite for surgery is stable disease for atleast a year, as in your case.
Hope it helps.
