I have white patches on my forehead and feet and I'm currently using a UVB lamp for PUVA treatment at home. How long will it take to see improvement in my vitiligo and will these white marks fade completely? Are there any surgical options to treat vitiligo and are they completely safe?

I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?
