Tacroz (tacrolimus 0.1%) or Elocon
I have been suffering from Vitiligo since last 6 weeks, including new patches coming up. I have used Tacroz for the last 4 weeks and I am not sure if it has actually worked except for one patch. AS As a second opinion, I have also been advised Elocon cream. I haven't started using this. Can someone kindly recommend which is more effective. This is primarily used on the face.
Any suggestion at the earliest will be helpful.

Hi
I assume that you've been assessed and given treatment by a dermatologist. It appears, from your history, that you have unstable vitiligo- new patches are appearing still. One time application of Elocon in the night and One time application of Tacroz in the morning will help.
Kindly note that the course of vitiligo is variable in everybody.
Health Tips
Avoid trauma to the skin during the active period of the disease such as scratches, etc. this could cause the appearance of new lesions at the site of the trauma.
