, for the first time, some mention that prior healthcare providers have told them that vitiligo is merely a cosmetic issue — much to her dismay.
There are two main subtypes of vitiligo. The segmental form is unilateral and presents in younger people, while the more common nonsegmental form usually involves both sides of the body and can involve different sites."Depending on the site that is involved, the nonsegmental form can be further divided into focal, acrofacial, mucosal, generalized, and universal subtypes," she said.
The level of vitiligo disease activity drives medical management. For patients with nonsegmental vitiligo who have clinical signs of active disease, the first goal is to stabilize the active disease and stop further spread of depigmentation."This is key because losing pigment can occur very quickly, but gaining pigment back is a very slow process," she said.
While some treatment efforts result in"complete and beautiful" repigmentation, she added, many yield uneven and incomplete results."We don't understand why repigmentation occurs in some areas but not in others," she said."We don't have any biomarkers for treatment response. That is something we are looking into."
