Sir, i got some white patches of around 1.5 sq inches on left armpit for around eight months. Now these are increasing in size gradually. i have been taking homeopatChatDoctoredicines. Recently i visited one dermatologist who prescribed for tacrolimus 0.1%, melgain lotion etc. i want to know how much time it may take to re-pigment the area if the medicines really work. Thanking you
Your condition most probably has been diagnosed by your treating doctor as Vitiligo hence prescribed Tacrolimus and Belgian local applications. It takes about three months of regular applications before you start to see any improvement in the color of white patch. Tacrolimus is a Chat Doctor. It is better than steroids applications as IOT does not thin out the affected skin and fewer chances of harmful systemic effects of long term use of steroids.However, prolonged use of tacrolimus is not recommended as rare cases of skin cancer and lymphoma have been reported.
