Yes: Talk to your plastic surgeon about available treatments, this must be individualized to your condition.

See dermatologist: Plastic surgery is generally not performed for albinism or vitiligo. Of course cosmetics can be used but not practical for your entire body. The use of melanocytes transplants are still investigational. The use of colored contacts can be employed to conceal the red appearance of the iris.
