Hypomelanosis of Ito
There is no treatment for the hypopigmentation. Treatment consists of treating the symptoms. Cosmetics or clothing may be used to cover the hypopigmented spots if desired. Seizures, scoliosis, and other problems are treated as necessary.
The outcome varies depending on the type and severity of symptoms that develop. In most cases, the skin pigment eventually returns to normal.
Call your health care provider if your child exhibits an unusual pattern of the color of the skin.
