Individuals can choose to dye their hair so it matches their normal hair color. They may also style their hair in a way that covers or hides the white patch of hair. Reassurance. Elimination of causes. Avoid excessive use of antibiotics. [medigoo.com]

Treatment
Oxsoralen lotion or ointment, and U.V.R exposures (similar to the treatment for Vitiligo) may be beneficial. Dyeing is often the only effective method of changing the color of grey hair. [medigoo.com]

The authors suggested that halo nevus should be excised as early as possible to prevent progression to vitiligo. [3] We conducted a Wood′s lamp examination on our patient, but did not find any other whitish patches or halo nevi in her body. [ijdvl.com]
