Vitiligo patches

2020-08-20 12:59:38
Hello Doctor, My two year old has few white patches on his body diagnosed as vitiligo. Doctor has suggested an ointment which is showing recovery. My query is if my son recovers from it, is there any chance of reappearance of these patches at the same place? Thanks in advance

There are some chances of recurring lesions as it is an autoimmune condition. Keep close watch and consult immediately if yo get see new patches.
