Vitiligo is mainly a cosmetic problem. However, treatment can help some patients. The treatment of choice is corticosteroid (cortisone-like) ointment or cream. The appropriate strength will be used, depending on the site involved. A mild steroid would be used on the face and a stronger steroid for the trunk and limbs. If you find that you have dark hair growing from the area of vitiligo, the outlook is better, since the vitiligo is likely to be affecting only the upper layers of the skin. This means that pigment cells that are still present in and around the hair roots can migrate upwards to the surface. The skin will then re-darken at a later date. About 50% of patients with vitiligo will respond to a corticosteroid. In those who do not respond, a specialized form of light treatment may be of value. This treatment is called PUVA and involves applying a paint, made out of a plant extract, called psoralen to the affected areas of skin and then exposing the skin to long wave ultraviolet A light. The psoralen can also be given by mouth 2 hours before the PUVA treatment. The oral route is used if the vitiligo affects a larger number of areas of the skin. This treatment tends to only be available in hospital. The success rate of PUVA treatment is about 50%. Recently some doctors have been using vitamin D-like cream in vitiligo with good effect. Clinical trials are needed to properly evaluate these creams but results so far look promising. In patients who do not want active treatment or in patients who fail treatment with both corticosteroids and PUVA therapy, cosmetic camouflage can be used in areas that are exposed. The British Red Cross run a Camouflage Clinic in many dermatology departments and will match up to your normal skin colour.

Arsenic Sulfate usually works, additionally there are a few sites that offer a homeopathic cure, but it is a lengthy process.
