Re: White patches on my 5 years old girl
Many thanks for taking the time to post a question.
It is hard to comment on the best treatment without seeing your daughter. There are conditions other than vitiligo that can leave pale patches on the cheeks in children (e.g. pityriasis alba). I suggest you take her to see your family doctor if you are concerned so that an accurate assessment and examination can take place before treatment is offered.
I hope that helps and best wishes,
Anjali
