Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
