Hello, your brother might be suffering from another condition like leucoderma known as" vitiligo. In this, the patient gets milky white patches on the skin unlike leucoderma where in the patient's entire skin turns milky white. Vitiligo can be kept under control and a definite cure for it has not been achieved. Some patients respond well to certain treatment and the other group might not respond at all to the same medicines. The response to the condition is quite erratic. But nevertheless, you can try. Let me know if you are interested, will be glad to give the best available treatment options to him.
