Hi, I am Corporal Md Rajab Ali, serving in Bangladesh Army, My son (5yrs & 8 Months old) suffering from vitiligo for last 1yrs & 8 Months. Now he is under treatment of Col Abdul Latif Khan, in CMH Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Medical Board of CMH Dhaka has recommended for better treatment in AIIMS. It would be a great help if you kindly give valuable doctors in AIIMS.

Vitiligo has very minimum treatment. Its a systemic disease which cant be cured by medicines. But plastic surgery can help in some places. Try to accept the condition and monitor as it increases with age. Once growth is complete you can consult a dermatologist and plastic surgeon.
