Abstract

Abstract Background: Childhood vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disorder that may have substantial psychosocial consequences, particularly when visible areas such as the face and neck are involved. Case presentation: A 10-year-old girl presented on 21 October 2021 with hypopigmented patches over the face and neck of approximately 5–6 months' duration. The first lesion had appeared on the left cheek, followed by lesions on the forehead, infraorbital region, lips and neck. Whitening of hair at the involved sites was also reported. She had previously received conventional treatment for approximately 4–5 months without reported improvement. Her past history included alopecia areata at 8 years of age, reportedly relieved with conventional treatment. General examination was unremarkable. Individualizing features recorded during homeopathic case-taking included mild fear of thunderstorms, desire for fish and spicy foods, aversion to milk and boiled egg, profuse scalp sweating, preference for cold air/fanning and a hot thermal state. The provisional diagnosis recorded was vitiligo. Repertorial analysis was followed by individualized homeopathic prescribing. Natrum muriaticum 1M was prescribed initially, followed by Silicea 10M during subsequent follow-up, with Arsenicum sulphuratum flavum 3X and other preparations as recorded. Long-term follow-up continued through September 2025. During follow-up, alopecia areata reportedly recurred and was treated with conventional medication. On 18 September 2025, the record documented that hypopigmentation had almost reduced.
