vitiligo around the eyes. 8y old girl

Hi there

Very excited to join. My daughter has two skin conditions.

She has this little white spot since 2017. It disappeared in 2018 and comes back around this year. The spot now is getting bigger and spreading around her knees feet.

Seen by many specialists and they confirm its vitiligo. I disagree because

-It disappeared at one point.

-they never ran any tests.

After searching online, I took my daughter to a test lab and we tested vitamin D, copper, and zinc. I found out that she has high copper, normal zinc, and extremely low on vitamin D.

She is now consuming D3 for 3 weeks, and I can see it changes her life in a matter of happiness. However, vitiligo is still expanding.

the second condition is that she always gets abscesses, like 3 times a year. since she consumed vitamin D3, she got abscess 2 times already.

Unfortunately, doctors are giving antibiotics for the abscesses but it didn't work as it comes back in 2-3 months.

sorry took me too long to explain my little daughter's issue. I am desperate and unfortunately, healthcare in my country is a shame.
