I shaved my head and noticed some white patches on my scalp. The skin seems normal without any crusting, and I don't feel any itching or pain. These spots just look like they've lost their color. There's no hair loss or discoloration in the hair itself. Could this possibly be vitiligo?

I'm taking FLUKA500 for a fungal infection I've had for the past 2 years and using MYCODERMC powder along with a citrazine tablet. I've been stuck with this for so long, and I'm not sure if these are the best treatments or if there's something else I should try. It's been quite frustrating. What do you think, is there a better approach to finally get rid of this?
