How Should Body Vitiligo, Greying Hair With A Swollen Neck Be Treated?

Hi, I think I have I diagnosed vitiligo, all over my shoulders and of patches on my arms. I also have grey hair (age 28) Today I have found a swollen side of my neck that almost goes down horizontal, in sure this is too low to be glands and doesn t hurt at all. Could this be serious?

Hi,

It's vitiligo only involving the neck probably with thickened skin. It can be treated with a biopsy to confirm followed by excision and grafting.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
