Patient's question:
My son is now six and a half months old. At one and a half months, we noticed a patch of skin under his left nipple that looked like vitiligo. At first, it was small, but it has been getting larger and larger. Is it vitiligo??Doctor's answer:
Take a close look to see if the surface of the leukoplakia is smooth and free of scales. The leukoplakia appears pale white or creamy white. If the borders are unclear or spreading towards normal skin, it could be vitiligo. A definitive diagnosis can only be made after examining the leukoplakia. Vitiligo is a difficult-to-treat condition, with its most prominent feature being easy to spread. It particularly affects appearance and quality of life. It is recommended that you promptly visit a formal specialized hospital for testing and treatment to avoid delaying the condition and the best time for treatment.
