Question
At birth, a small patch of skin behind the right ear of the child had a subtle color difference, which slightly expanded with age. At the age of 9, a similar condition was found on the neck. Is it possible to be vitiligo, and what treatment methods are available?
Answer
Firstly, check with Wood’s lamp for further verification. If diagnosed with vitiligo, oral administration of Bailing Tablets and Compound Liquorice Glycyrrhizin Tablets is recommended. 1. Apply Tacrolimus Ointment topically to the face. 2. For the neck or other areas, apply Bailing Tincture. Use Compound Karizarine Tincture and Hydrocortisone Cream (use continuously for not more than 2 weeks, then use intermittently according to the situation). Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and beautiful life.
