My niece is 13 years old and we have noticed a white patch on the left side of her scalp, under her hair(same patch hair is also white). The patch looks lighter than the rest of the hair. We consulted doctor and started all the medicine as advised but the white patch seems to be increasing instead of shrinking. Doctor has diagnosed vitiligo and the medicine prescribed is(which we stopped now) Tacrolimus 0.1% oint twice daily for 1 month Then tofacinib 5mg twice daily for 1 month Now switched to Picrolimus oint twice - not started yet! Advised Rixolitinib oint And phototherapy
How long has the white patch been present?:
- 1-3 monthsHas your niece experienced any other symptoms?:
- No other symptomsWhat is your niece's dietary habits like?:
- Somewhat balanced, occasional junk fooddone

Hi, vitiligo is generally very difficult to treat and success rate is also very low. You can try giving a chance to ayurveda but results cannot be asssured
