I've had vitiligo for 12 years with white patches on my hands and feet. I've tried medications like Melanocyl and currently take Trioxsalen tablets, Trimop forte, and Betamethasone sodium phosphate tablets. Is there a faster, more permanent solution through surgery? What kind of surgery would work and where can I get it done?

Surgical options like melanocyte transplantation or grafting may help stable vitiligo. Check centers like AIIMS, PGIMER, or private dermatology clinics.
