Yes, there is. My cousin has vitiligo, just a patch on her neck tho. When she was younger she had skin grafts but it's really painful and it really didn't make that much difference, nowadays there are much better treatments. She's due to have laser treatment later this yr which has worked great on others with the same condition. I would look into that if I were u, it's v.expensive but prob the only thing that will work. She uses Dermablend camouflage makeup right now to cover it up when she's out but of course she can't use that all the time and it really affects her confidence.
