Question
My son is now six and a half months old. About a month ago, I noticed a patch of skin under his left nipple that looks like vitiligo. Initially, the patch was small, but it has gradually expanded. Do you think this is vitiligo?
Answer
Take a close look at whether the surface of the white patch is smooth and without scales, appearing pale white or milky white, and whether the edges are clear. If the edges are blurred or spreading to normal skin, it may be vitiligo. To confirm the diagnosis, a direct observation of the white patch is needed. Vitiligo is a difficult-to-treat condition characterized by its tendency to spread and affect appearance and lifestyle. It is recommended that you visit an accredited specialist hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition and missing the best treatment opportunity.
