Suggest treatment for vitiligo in a child
Patient: my daughter of 8yrs is suffering from vitiligo for last 2 & half years. it was a small 2mm spot on the right knee at the beginning. from there it has spreaded on both her legs, hands and face. she is taking homeopathic treatment from Dr. Batra s Clinic since beginning but no improvement. kindly help. Doctor: Hello,  There is no treatment of vitiligo so effective so as to effectively make all the spots disappear. There is no cure for vitiligo. Treatment with UVA & UVB light help to slow down the discoloring process & return some color to your skin.  You are suggested to get your child physically examined by a dermatologist.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care. All the best.  Regards, Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
