What Causes White Patches Around The Lips In A 9 Year Old Girl?

Good morning doctor
I have 9 year old daighter.We have observed white patches around the lips since one month. We did thirod testing and it is positive(thirod level 7.5). She has habit of kissing her baby doll which is made of rubber she has been doing that since she was 1 year old . She spend more than 8 hours day with her doll. When we took her to skin doctor, She said it could be because of thirod. We are now worried that it could be Vitiligo as someone in my relation said that. The patch is lightly visible.please advice of you have a treatment for this. We are unable to sleep since we hard that it could be Vitiligo.

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. Autoimmune disorder are more common if one is suffering from Thyroid problem [and Vitiligo is one of them] which seems to bee the case in your daughter.

2. As she has been seen by a skin specialist, thus consult with an Endocrinologist for Thyroxine medicine dosage since if thyroid comes normal then these white patches will also fade away slowly.

3. In the mean time [for white patches]:

DIET:

- Do's: take old brown rice,barley, neem,potatoes,honey,garlic, expose affected area to early morning sunray, pomegranate, old ghee.

- Don't: black gram,radish,newly harvested rice,milk,white sesame seeds, salt,sour,jaggery,alcohol,day time sleeping, heavy/cold/oily food, opposite food, mental exertion.

B. Management

. Copper Water to be taken regularly
. Lemon, oranges, mangoes, grapes, apple, papaya, sugarcane, guava, to be avoided strictly
. No use of perfume,Deo, or agarbatti should be there.
. Soyabean,Methi are rich sources of copper, so should be eaten in more amount
. Bottle gourd to be eaten daily
. Mix white onion seeds powder in white onion juice and apply it for 3 months.

3.Treatment

You can ask for prescription medicines like Pigmento,Visora,Sutone (tablet and cream) or if interested in taking classical medicines I can courier you the same.
