2. Start treatment with a retinoid cream

A retinoid cream is a type of drug that helps to stimulate the production of new melanin pigment in the skin. Retinoids are available over-the-counter (OTC), and they are very effective at treating vitiligo.

3. Use light therapy

Light therapy is a treatment that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to improve the appearance of vitiligo. UV light therapy is usually prescribed as part of a larger treatment plan, and it can be very successful in restoring skin color and reducing the appearance of vitiligo.
