there is no single best therapy for vitiligo, it depends on patient condition, age, distribution of lesion. PUVA therapy is well established treatment but cant use in your child it should be used after 11 years. oral mini pulse of betamethasone should be given to prevent spread and for repigmentation . topical tacrolimus, topical placentrex gel and topical florinated steroid(flucinolone steroid) should be applied twice daily.
