What is it?
Vitiligo in children is a skin condition in which patches of skin lose their natural color due to loss of pigment-producing cells. It appears as white or light-colored patches on different parts of the body, commonly on the face, hands, feet, knees, elbows, or around the mouth and eyes. Vitiligo is not contagious and does not cause pain or itching, but it may gradually progress over time.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management of vitiligo focuses on early diagnosis, controlling progression, and promoting repigmentation wherever possible. The dermatologist examines the pattern, extent, and activity of vitiligo and reviews family history or associated conditions. Treatment may include topical medications, light-based therapies, and long-term skin care guidance tailored to the child’s age and skin type.
