Treating vitiligo If vitiligo is severe or making you unhappy, you may want to consider treatment.
The white patches caused by vitiligo are usually permanent, although treatment options are available to reduce their appearance.
If the patches are relatively small, skin camouflage cream can be used to cover them up. Steroid creams can also be used on the skin to restore some pigment, however long-term use can cause stretch marks and thinning of the skin If steroid creams do not work, phototherapy (treatment with light) may be used.
Although treatment may help restore colour to your skin, the effect does not usually last. Treatment cannot stop the condition spreading. Find out more about treating vitiligo.
