Question

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Question

I'm considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?
