I've been dealing with vitiligo and have been using tacroz and Melbild for around 11 months now. It's helped quite a bit with reducing my patches. I started off with 0.1 tacroz but now I'm down to 0.03, and use it about 2-3 times a week. I avoid putting it on my legs and only apply it to my arms and scalp. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using these products like this. I also take a week off every month. Do you think this is okay or should I be doing something different?
