My son who is seven has white circles around his eyes. the r symmetrical so the doc said that rules out vitiligo. what can it be?

White circles: White circles around the eyes definitely sounds abnormal. Although symmetric disease is uncommon, vitiligo is possible. I would see a dermatologist to determine the cause and prevent progression.
