Patient's question:
Could you please tell me what's wrong with my child's eyelashes? They are low-rooted and have white and yellow hair. My child is over three years old.Doctor's answer:
Generally, the symptoms of vitiligo are characterized by: depigmentation of the skin in affected areas, turning white, with shades of grayish-white, creamy white, or porcelain white, etc. There is usually no subjective discomfort. The skin lesions appear as pure white, round, or irregular depigmented patches with smooth surfaces and clear boundaries. The edges may show increased pigmentation, and the hair in the affected area can be normal or turn white.
