This is not Vitiligo. Seems like a healing ring lesion (Tinea Corporis. Fungal infection). Apply Travocort cream twice daily for 2 weeks and give Tab Lamisil 250 mg per day for 2 weeks if her liver functions are alright

This is not vitiligo. Looks like an eczema to me. Xerotic eczema
Apply Vaseline to these patches 3 times daily for few weeks regularly.
Regards
Dear pt this is more likely tinea (i.e; fungal infection) so tacrolimus would be of no help..
