Topical tacrolimus: Topical tacrolimus ointment is an effective therapy for vitiligo. Topical steroid creams are used first, but long term usage is problematic and has many consequences.

Makeup: Vitiligo is an acquired condition where the cells that make melanin (pigment) in the skin are destroyed. Your best resource for treatment options is a dermatologist.
