Question
What’s the situation with white spots on a child’s face and weakness in the limbs?
Answer
Vitiligo manifests as white spots, but the extent and range of pigment loss can vary, from pale to porcelain white. The edges of the spots may be clear or blurred, and occasionally there may be a spreading ring around them with colors between normal skin and the spots. The hair in the spots may turn white, remain normal, or be a mix of black and white. The surface is smooth, without scales or scabs. Skin diseases often require visual diagnosis, so it’s recommended to visit a regular hospital for confirmation to avoid delaying treatment.
