Can be Difficult: The aim in treatment of vetiligo is to even out skin tone, either by restoring original color or by diminishing the remaining color. Treatment usually takes months and you may have to go thru different treatments to get good results. Treatment is not always necessary. Treatment will be tailored in accordance to your skin color. Best to see a dermatologist if your are considering aggressive options.
