Dermatol Ther. 2012 Nov-Dec:25 Suppl 1:S32-40. doi: 10.1111/dth.12011.

Abstract

Vitiligo is a manageable disease. However, current vitiligo treatments can be considered suboptimal as they do not guarantee high efficacy and cannot be standardized for most patients. Recently, combination therapies have been introduced in order to obtain better results and reduce risks in the management of the disease. Novel efficacious products are hereunder discussed to improve the therapeutic options for vitiligo patients.
