Does anti-fungal shampoo work for vitiligo? and how long does it usually take to clear up if applied once a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Recommend seeing a dermatologist. Usually treatment starts with topical steroids. Other therapies are available but vitiligo can be difficult to treat.
