Vitiligo (pronounced vit-ill-EYE-go) is an unpredictable, generally progressive skin disease, which results in a loss of inherited skin color over the lifetime of the person. Vitiligo is a non-lethal, non-contagious disease and it does not cause any organic harm, but it has a devastating effect on social life of the affected person and their family. Over 100 million people have vitiligo worldwide, and a great majority of us affected suffer severely as a result of the social stigma and severe psychological burden that result. Vitiligo is a disease that presently cannot be cured, but successfully managed with many different approaches. Treatment for vitiligo is difficult and prolonged. It is typically a combination of the UV light and topical drugs. Although there is no therapeutic full solution yet, high repigmentation percentages, mostly on facial and neck, can be achieved. Existing therapies are less effective on trunk and limbs, and poor on the acral parts of the extremities.
Choosing a treatment for vitiligo can sometimes be overwhelming. In general, first-line therapy should be safe, effective, minimally invasive, and cost efficient. More complex, invasive, and time-c**uming opti** should be reserved for subjects with stable vitiligo. Each therapeutic option should be tried for a sufficient period of time, which may last for 6-9 months, because the initiation of pigmentation varies and is in general rather slow.
