My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed just 2 months ago. I CRIED 2 weeks straight! I'm doing much better now. We have used 2 steroid creams and 1 spot on her knee slightly smaller than a dime is "freckling" so pigment is returning there. She has a lot of hair in that area so I think that is what's helping! The rest of her spots, quite larger, have not regained pigment. But I made a mistake, since I wasn't using one of her creams (Elidel) on her body on her "off" week too. We'll try the creams for 3 more months and we'll see how goes it! Fingers (and eyes and legs) crossed it works...now that I know what I was supposed to do! Oops! If not, the doctor mentioned trying light therapy...
