Vitiligo can be controlled but not 100% cured. At any time, you can have an increase in the lesions, for which you should take treatment as prescribed by a certified dermatologist.
Once it stabilises, there are surgical procedures that can be done to even out the skin colour.
Right now, the most important thing is to avoid any sort of scratching/injury over the skin as this can cause occurrence of vitiligo over the injured areas.
If you wish to seek treatment, kindly consult me online and I will guide you through treatment for vitiligo.
