AB An  8-year-old  Hispanic  boy  is  brought  in  to  the  clinic  by  his  mother,  who  is  concerned  about  his  pigment  loss  (Figure  206-1).  He  is  starting  to  develop  vitiligo  around  the  eyes,  and  his  mother  wants  him  to  be  treated.  The  child  was  started  on  a  topical  steroid,  and  the  use  of  narrow-band  UVB  was  discussed  if  the  steroid  does  not  prove  helpful.  Realistic  expectations  of  the  treatments  were  provided  to  the  mother  and  her  son.
