I've been dealing with vitiligo and noticed white patches on my fingers and a bit on my lower lip. Are there any cosmetic treatments that can help without surgery? Can this condition be cured? I'd like to know my options so I can plan a visit for proper treatment.

I'm really concerned about this baldness issue I'm experiencing. The front of my head has lost a lot of hair, and it looks quite bald now. A few months ago, I only noticed it when I applied oil, but now it's visible all the time, and my hair's gotten thinner. Can you recommend a permanent solution for this? Also, is there a difference between hair transplantation and PRP therapy, or are they the same? Which one would be the best and safest option? I could really use some guidance here since I'm quite worried about losing more hair.
