Vitiligo cannot be completely cured, but treatments can help restore skin colour and prevent further spread. You should see a doctor or dermatologist, who may prescribe potent steroid creams, topical calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy, and, in some cases, surgical procedures such as skin grafting. Protecting your skin from the sun and managing stress can also help.
