Question
I'm really worried about my little nephewhe's just a year old and we've noticed a few small white spots on his hand. My brother has had vitiligo since he was a kid, but thankfully it's under control now. I'm concerned though; is it possible that vitiligo can be passed down from father to son? And if it is, how can we effectively treat it for the baby to keep it from becoming a big issue as he grows up?

In conclusion, while vitiligo can have a genetic link, its not certain that your nephew will develop it just because his father has it. Consulting a specialist will give you peace of mind and help ensure the right approach to treatment if needed.
