I have white patches on both my knees and elbows, and despite taking medical treatment for 3 months, it seems to be getting worse. I've been using Vitibex tablets twice a day and Melgain lotion twice a day, and my diet includes sour and spicy foods. Could you suggest what I should do next or if I need to change anything in my treatment plan?

Treatment duration: 3 months might not be sufficient for noticeable improvement.2. Diet: Consuming sour and spicy foods may exacerbate vitiligo symptoms. Consider avoiding or reducing these foods.3.
