What's the Best Vitiligo Treatment for Kids Under 5?

Patient's Query

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Vitiligo under 5 in kids is a skin disease that is characterized by the appearance of white patches. This happens when skin cells do not produce color anymore. For toddlers, doctors mostly recommend allopathy. Sometimes, these treatments can include light therapy or medication. There are some focal vitiligo above the lips that can be treated with these methods also. It is the dermatologist who knows the proper procedure best.

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

Painless lumps in neck. Moveable, been there a while

Female | 16

If the lumps move around easily, they're likely harmless. These lumps might be caused by swollen glands, cysts, or fatty tissue. If there are no changes or issues, just keep an eye on them. However, if they start getting bigger, it's important to see a doctor.

Hello Doctor, Myself Anjali. I am 25.5 yrs old. I am having severe itching in my private part whenever i go outside in sun.

Female | Anjali

It seems you are facing a heat rash which is a common condition. Your skin gets too hot due to the sun and it can make your skin red, itchy, and throbbing. After a time, you should avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. Make sure to wear cool, loose-fitting clothes. Moreover, always keep below clean and dry when there is a chance of heat rash. Calamine lotion can also be a good option to use to relieve the burning skin. Drinking enough water is important.

last month maine titness injection liya. ab fir se cut lag gaya ..kya mujhe fir titness injection lena chahie ..

Male | 36

Cuts can happen due to accidental injury or poor skills in injection administration. Just cleanse it with soap and water and then put an antiseptic cream on the minor cuts (non-deep cuts and the skin's surface). If it's deep or you notice infection symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pus, the best thing is to visit a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?

Male | 21

One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

Female | 45

Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

I did surgery on Keloid on my back but the wound is not healing fast. Please what do should I do to stop the keloid from growing back again.

Male | 43

A keloid is when the skin grows too much after an injury has healed. They may feel itchy or painful. You could use silicone sheets or gel over the wound to stop it from growing back. Additionally, ask your physician about corticosteroid injections which can help flatten the keloid.
