Hello,
As per your case history, your son is probably suffering from Vitiligo.
My treatment advice is:
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2.
2. Apply a tacrolimus 0.03 %ointment twice daily on the affected skin.
3. Take a vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
