    I’ve had vitiligo since I was a couple months old. Nothing has helped with it but there is no way to prevent it from spreading. I used to use sunblock all the time but it’s not the sun doing th damnage. Your immune system is attacking your skin cells which is making them lose the pigmentation.

    I think you should keep in touch with the doctor, and let them know of any progress. There are always other options that go down the same road.
