A. Vitiligo is not a curable disease and has no effective treatment in kids.If your child is diagnosed with vitiligo, your doctor may first recommend topical medications, most commonly corticosteroids or immune modulators. Light treatments (phototherapy) can also reduce the inflammation that causes vitiligo.Usually, it starts in childhood or young adult: it has been estimated that about 50% of patients develop vitiligo before the age of 20 years and about 25% of them develop the disease before the age of 8, with a mean age of 4 - 5 years
