Hello,
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. Treatment options include steroids, psoralen photochemotherapy(PUVA), depigmentation and surgical therapy like skin grafting,micropigmentation or tattooing and autologous melanocyte transplants. However the choice of therapy depends on the number of white patches; their location, sizes, and how widespread they are and the option that is convenient to you. I would suggest  you to discuss these options with a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
