Hii, if the itching and redness persists, it is possible that you have got mild burns. Stop melanocyl for a few days.
You can start with lesser sunexposure time after application of melanocyl. You should increase it in a graded manner. Please consult your dermatologist.

Dear lybrate-user, sorry to hear this. First of all, stop applying any medication at this point. If the kid is still having itching or redness. Please give him tablet dazit-m once daily. It may help to reduce the allergic response. We manage a lot of vitiligo patients and for best management, it is always better to meet the dermatologist face to face. You are welcome to contact us for an appointment if you prefer that.
