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've been dealing with this black scar on my upper lip ever since I waxed it five months ago, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried using Mederma SPF 30 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I've attached an image of the scar. Could you recommend a good cream or medicine that might work?

It's got me a bit concerned because I'm not sure if it's something I should be worried about or if it needs treatment.
