What Indicates Leafy Pattern White Patches On Scalp Along With Mosaicism?
I have a question about my 3 year old autistic son. He has mosaicism on his chest, back and arm. He also has white patches of hair on the right side of his head. This is a leafy pattern. He was born with one eyelash and eyebrow that is blonde. He had febrile seizures after his vaccinations. We have been in and out of Yale and still have no answers. What are these white patches on his head? They said normally they don t see mosaicism ad leafy patches on the scalp together. Any ideas?? We don t have more appointments until next month but I can t find much on the internet about this.
