Patient's question:
At birth, there was a small part of the skin on the right cheek near the ear of the child that was slightly different, very faint, and gradually became more noticeable with age. The child is only 9 years old this year, and just recently noticed a faint discoloration on the neck that was different from the surrounding skin. Could it be vitiligo?Doctor's answer:
First, check the Wood's lamp. Further verification is needed. If vitiligo is confirmed, oral Baoling tablets and compound glycyrrhizin tablets should be taken. 1. Apply tacrolimus ointment externally to the face. 2. For the neck or other areas, Baoling tincture can be applied. Compound Carlesen tincture and halometasone ointment (use continuously for no more than 2 weeks, then use intermittently based on the situation). Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
