Spots On Arm, Neck And Back, Slightly Raised. Is It Vitiligo?
Is IGH different from pre vitiligo? my son has 3 small spots in the arm, neck and the back. We have noticed this over the last 2.5 months. The doctor said that it is IGH and he does not think it may become vitiligo. One doctor said that it may not be vitiligo. He said that some of them are slightly raised and can be felt when you move the fingers on thi. what does this mean?
