VITILIGO ON MY LEG

I have noticed a large long patch of the skin on my leg is turning much lighter than the rest of my skin. The area is where I get injections every few weeks as the scar after an operation I had over three years ago is very painful.
Could it be the reasction to the injections that is causing the change in colour? If so, what can I do to stop the reaction?

If the injections are steroid then yes these can cause lightening of the skin. Tell your doctor and they may be able to use a different type of injection or different dose if the colour change bothers you a lot
