Vitiligo is treated if it causes emotional or social distress. The traditional treatment involves use of a corticosteroid cream. Phototherapy (use of specific light rays) is also used. If the patches are all over your body and fixed, depigmentation using monobenzone may be considered. This is the therapy Michael Jackson used to deal with his vitiligo. Your doctor may also refer you to a camouflage specialist.
