Vitiligo patch on lips
I have a 2 cm patch of Vitiligo on my upper lip. I used to use Tecrolimus 0.5% but now whenever I use it i get mouth ulcers which lasts for more than 10 days. So i am unable to use it to diminish the patch, because of this it's size increasing. Please suggest me a solution.

Lip vitiligo is absolutely treatable. However it requires a long term treatment plan. Provide with photos so that accurate diagnosis can be made and treatment can be given to you accordingly.
Stop Tacrolimus if its not suited to you .
