My daughter in law is suffering from vitaligo from age of 20 with about 60% white spots.now she is 33 and married and a son aged 2yrs. We have given full psychological support.
Will cmc vellore (TN) dermotologists be right place to get medical support.
Will her son (born normal,still normal) be developing vitiligo as he grows. ?

First of all, its great to know that you all are providing your daughter in law with full psychological support.

Here is a detailed article on vitiligo http://www.patientsengage.com/conditions/all-you-need-know-about-vitili…

As per the information in this article on vitiligo
"Children whose parents have the disorder are more likely to develop vitiligo. There is definitely a genetic predisposition though not proven."

Vitiligo is fairly common so most dermatologists should have experience on vitiligo but if you are looking for information in a particular city or state we can ask our community
