AB An  8-year-old  Hispanic  boy  is  brought  in  to  the  clinic  by  his  mother,  who  is  concerned  about  his  pigment  loss  (Figure  198-1).  He  is  starting  to  develop  this  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.
