How to treat vitiligo on the face of adolescents?
Disease description:
My daughter is 15 years old this year. Previously, vitiligo only appeared on her body, but now there are also many patches on her face. How should vitiligo on the face of adolescents be treated?

The treatment methods for vitiligo on the faces of adolescents mainly include medication, phototherapy, and surgical treatment. Regarding medication, oral drugs such as methylprednisolone tablets and vitiligo pills, as well as topical medications like Xiaobai ointment and tacrolimus ointment, may be used under a doctor's guidance to control the condition and promote skin recovery. Phototherapy, such as narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy, can stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin, helping to improve the condition. If the vitiligo is stubborn and pigment cells have been damaged, surgical treatments such as skin transplantation may be considered. During treatment, adolescents should also pay attention to sun protection, dietary adjustments, and psychological well-being to promote recovery. The specific treatment plan should be developed according to the patient's condition and the doctor's recommendations.
