So I've got vitiligo almost covering 90% of my body, and I'm really struggling with the dark spots that are left behind. Is there any way to make the vitiligo spread evenly so it doesnt look so patchy or odd?

I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me. They told me to apply 1ml of minoxidil once a day at night, but I thought the usual dosage was 2 ml, like once in the morning and once at night. I'm wondering if this is right or if maybe there was a mistake. Could you help me understand what's going on?
