A doctor has provided 1 answer
May use: Immunomodulator creams such as Protopic and Elidel (pimecrolimus) cause repigmentation in some cases, when used with UVB narrowband treatments. Vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements with sun exposure caused repigmentation in 62% of cases.Leukoderma is a localized loss of pigmentation[1] of the skin that may occur after any number of inflammatory skin conditions, burns etc- not contagious
