SUSTAINED REPIGMENTATION IN PEDIATRIC VITILIGO: A FIVE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP CASE REPORT FROM DR BATRA'S HOMEOPATHY CLINIC

Abstract

Vitiligo is a chronic acquired depigmenting disorder characterized by progressive destruction of melanocytes leading to well-defined depigmented macules. Pediatric vitiligo often poses a therapeutic challenge due to its tendency for progression, cosmetic impact, and psychological implications. This case report presents a young male child who developed vitiligo over the scalp followed by facial involvement, with a positive family history of vitiligo in the father. The patient exhibited characteristic constitutional features including timidity, emotional dependence, fear of doctors and injections, and need for support. Individualized constitutional homeopathic treatment along with regular follow-up resulted in sustained repigmentation, arrest of disease progression, reversal of leukotrichia, and long-term stability over a five-year observation period. The case demonstrates a significant clinical transformation achieved at Dr Batra's Homeopathy Clinic.
