Patient's question:
The child is still young, and the area of the white spots is not very large, located on the buttocks and back. Treatment has not yet been implemented because they are afraid the child is too young to be treated. They want to ask how to proceed with the treatment properly?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended not to use medication blindly. There are various medications for treating vitiligo, but each has specific indications and may not be suitable for every patient. If the medication is not appropriate, it may provide temporary relief of white patches in the short term. However, long-term use can potentially damage the liver and kidney function, as well as cause drug resistance and tolerance. It can also destroy the skin structure and microcirculation in the affected areas, leading to missed opportunities for optimal treatment.
