Is the small white spot on the baby's back vitiligo?

Patient's question:

Consult a dermatologist. There are three small white spots on the baby's back. Because I previously had vitiligo, the white patches disappeared six months before I got pregnant, and now I'm worried, not knowing if it's vitiligo.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the information you provided, it is possible that your child may have vitiligo. However, since I haven't seen the specific details of the condition, I cannot provide a definitive diagnosis at this time. You can carefully observe whether the patches are smooth and without scales, and whether the affected areas are grayish-white, creamy-white, or porcelain-white. If the borders are unclear or if the patches are spreading toward normal skin, it could be vitiligo. A specific diagnosis can only be made after examining the condition of the affected areas.
