Phenol for Vitiligo

no, phenol will not help vitiligo spots. Actually, there is nothing that will restore pigment back to the skin once it is lost. Resurfacing techniques (such as phenol) may be helpful in lightening the surrounding skin to decrease the contrast between the vitiligo spots and the unaffected skin.
