AUG 2025: Leucopathy treatment

16th times-Aug 6

Following his laser treatment, he developed some blisters on his face. He experienced discomfort for several days, but this was related to the skin issue. He often felt an itch, particularly when trying to sleep.

I understand that this type of skin issue is a part of the healing process. I am unsure whether to apply a bandage or simply reassure him that he will feel better soon. The most challenging aspect is that he keeps scratching his face, causing the skin to peel.

Fortunately, there is no bleeding, even though he frequently touches his face. I feel sympathy for him whenever he experiences pain, but I have been trying not to overemphasize his condition to avoid giving him too much attention.

I am uncertain if this type of pain always follows laser treatment, as the effect seems to be infrequent. The symptoms in the hands are unclear, and the colors appear brighter and larger. The doctor mentioned that the skin on the hands is thicker than on the face, so the facial color change is less noticeable than on the hands.

However, the patient was more concerned with the face because he felt self-conscious about his different skin tone. Since the facial condition is improving, I hope the improvement in the hands will also be rapid. It is challenging to be fully satisfied with the medical progress, even though I can see improvement.

17th time-Aug 9

The blisters are improving, although they still itch occasionally.

There are some spots resembling leucopathy on the left side of my cheek and neck, which I find concerning.

It is heartening to witness the progress of the treatment, and it feels like a modern medical miracle.

However, this is a genetic issue that could potentially be passed on to future generations, perhaps even my grandchildren.

While it is premature to worry excessively, the genetic aspect does cross my mind from time to time.

18th time-Aug 13

I am pleased to see that the skin condition appears to be improving, with the blisters and itching subsiding, and only minor changes observed after the laser treatment.

I certainly hope that the leukoderma does not return. This month, due to my fatigue, I have found it difficult to accompany him to the clinic as often as I would prefer.

Consequently, I have arranged to attend once a week, and for the other visits, he will be accompanied by someone else.

This arrangement eases some of the burden of ensuring his attendance, while still allowing me to provide as much support as I can.

However, attending twice a week currently feels like a considerable commitment.

19th time-Aug 16

On the occasion of his first laser treatment, his grandmother accompanied him. The day prior to the clinic visit, he enjoyed time with his grandparents, strengthening their bond during these holidays.

It is quite convenient for me, as I do not need to take him to the clinic at this time. He is pleased to have spent a night with his grandparents.

Following the treatment, he experienced some pain in his wrist, but thankfully, there were no signs of blistering.

He has been applying his leucopathy cream himself, but he has become inconsistent, now using it every other day.

I can observe some redness developing after the laser treatment. This has reaffirmed my belief in the effectiveness of the laser treatment.

20th time-Aug 20

The laser treatment is indeed quite efficient, which is certainly advantageous, as it reduces the time spent at the clinic.

A person wearing a white gown entered the laser room unexpectedly, and I suspect they might be training in dermatology.

The doctor who typically cares for my children was speaking kindly to my son and me.

During each visit, there is not much to discuss, as the treatment itself only takes a few minutes.

21st time-Aug 25

This is the final visit of the month. Navigating to and from the clinic with my child is proving to be quite challenging.

My physical condition seems to deteriorate rapidly following each clinic visit with my son.

While I didn’t experience as much fatigue during my three-hour commute to work, I now feel exhausted and burdened by the need to bring him to the clinic at least once a week.
