Question
The baby has several small white spots on the back, are they vitiligo?
Answer
Based on the information provided, these white spots may be a symptom of vitiligo. However, since the appearance of the baby’s white spots has not been observed, an exact diagnosis cannot be made. It is recommended to carefully observe the characteristics of the white spots, such as whether the surface is smooth without scales, and whether the color is grayish, milky white, or porcelain white, as well as whether the edges are clear or spreading towards normal skin. If these characteristics match the appearance of vitiligo, it is very likely to be this condition. However, an accurate diagnosis requires a doctor to examine the affected area with their eyes.
