My son is 6 year old and suffering from vitiligo for which UV therapy was given for 1 year. Presently it is under control but the discolored white patches is still there at some of the places. There is only one tiny new patch has comeup on the body after stopping of UV therapy. External ointments are being applied regularly. My question is shall I start the treatment again. And can I use small hand held UV lamp for treatment at home? Is there any medicine required to be taken?

UV therapist can suggest you that it can be taken by self or not. At the age of six yrs. Vitiligo suggests some of deficiency of trace element, Iron, anemia, worms specially hymenolepsis nana (Tape worms), burns, cuts, injuries etc. A patient aged 14 yrs. Have been cured by having just five sitting of Leech-Therapy recently. For futher guidance and counseling I will be always with you don't worry. And don't take this disease lightly otherwise it may spread on all over the body. I have cured so many patients of vitiligo, Leucoderma, psoriasis in my thirty years of medical practice. If you are interested you may communicate with me on-line or chat with me in private.
