PEDIATRIC VITILIGO TREATED EFFECTIVELY AT DR BATRA’S WITH GENTLE HOMEOPATHY

Abstract

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by depigmented patches due to the loss of melanocytes. It affects 0.5–2% of the global population, including children, and can cause emotional distress despite being non-contagious and asymptomatic ^(1,2). Conventional treatment often includes steroids or immunosuppressants, which may have side effects and are not always preferred for pediatric use ^(3).

Homeopathy offers a holistic, individualized, and safe approach, especially in children, aiming at long-term stabilization and correction of the underlying susceptibility without suppressive treatment ^(4,5).

This paper presents a case of a 2-year-old boy who developed a vitiligo patch on the lip following topical allopathic treatment. The parents initiated homeopathic treatment at Dr. Batra’s. This case highlights the relevance of early intervention, detailed case-taking, and the importance of constitutional remedies in managing pediatric vitiligo.
