I'm dealing with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation and was wondering if tacrolimus 0.1 is a safe option for treating it? I'm worried if it really helps with getting rid of the depigmented skin and if it's okay to use for conditions that aren't vitiligo. Any insights would be really appreciated!

Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment can be used to treat post inflammatory hypopigmentation. It helps to restore skin color by promoting melanin production. It is also safe to use in non-vitiligo conditions such as post inflammatory hypopigmentation. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of tacrolimus ointment to the affected area twice daily.

I'm really confused about these medications. First, I was prescribed isotino 5mg for 20 days, but nothing happened to my skinno reaction or even side effects. Now, I've been given tretin iso 10mg tabs, and I'm not sure what to expect. Should I be concerned, or is there a reason why the first medication didn't work? Also, how can I send you a photo of my skin to help you see what I'm dealing with?
