We certainly need to speak very clearly with them. Vitiligo is a skin disease that involves mostly aesthetic discomfort. It therefore concerns a social sphere of what people may or may not like. Incidentally, there are many models and models with vitiligo, as well as many famous people who make cinema and theater. Vitiligo consists in the lack, in the progressive loss of color in the pigmentation of the skin.
We must explain to our little ones that vitiligo is a problem that can be solved or mitigated by the dermatologist with specific and targeted treatments. Such as uvb therapy.
We also need to remind our children that even with a little Vitiligo you can still be charming and special. The aesthetic judgment is always personal and what some people do not like, on the contrary, can please many others.
