Question
What are the early symptoms of pediatric vitiligo, and how is it treated?
Answer
The early symptoms of pediatric vitiligo appear as regional skin patches that are milky white in color, which can occur on any part of the body. The distribution of skin lesions in the early stages of pediatric vitiligo is approximately 50% on the head and neck, about 28% on the lower limbs, around 18% on the trunk, and about 6% in the perineal area. The initial skin lesions are often found on areas prone to injury such as the knees, elbows, forearms, hands, and heels. Guidance: If a child has vitiligo, it is best to take them to the hospital for treatment promptly, in order to achieve early diagnosis, early treatment, and early recovery.
