I was told that dandruff shampoo is effective in treating hypopigmentation (vitiligo) on my forehead. is this true?

No: It can treat seborrheic dermatitis which can cause lighter color. Excimer laser, narrow band uvb, or microdermabrasion plus 5 floururacil can regiment vitiligo. See a dermatologist experienced in treating vitiligo.
