Hi! It's important to rule out if he has something other than vitiligo. Yes, vitiligo is treatable but in a child there are limitations of medicine use. Regarding recurrence.,it's recurrent but you never know when it would just go away. Avoid him getting injuries. However a good dermatologist will definitely help.
