I'm dealing with these really itchy light brown spots that turn into dark black spots after I scratch them. It's so hard not to scratch because they itch so much! They're mostly on my lower legs and lower back. A couple of years ago, I had the same thing on my arms and hips, and those black spots never went away. Now it's flaring up again. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?

I'm really worried about my vitiligo. I've had it for 15 years and it's been stable because I've been using purol h syrup, octomop tablet, tacrom ointment, and tolenorm oil. But I'm not seeing any actual improvement. So I switched doctors recently, and now I'm on melbild lotion, pathex tablet, placentrax gel, and trimop forte. Instead of getting better, it's spreading more. I'm kind of lost hereany advice on what I should do next?
In such cases, it's important to consult with your doctor to discuss other treatment options that may be more effective for you.
