Has White Circle Around Eye. Taking Ficcotril. Blood Test Shows Iron Deficiency. Is It Vitiligo?

Hi We have a 2 and half year old son....who has white circles around his eyes from one month..and seems not to go. Doctors have prescribed ficcotril (hydrokortisone) and he also has an iron deficency according to the recent blood test . We are worried..because today when met the doctor, she said it might be vitiligo but was not sure on tat..and has referred to a dermatolagist. Please give us advice if it is really vitiligo...we are very much worried for our son.

Dont worry it is not a very serious condition. there are many modes of treatment for vitiligo like PUVA therapy, UV therapy and transplanting melanocytes. first correct his iron defeciency by giving iron syrups like haemup, dexorange. note if any of the family members has it. consult the dermatologist.
