Abstract
There are several available treatments for vitiligo but only limited data to actually guide the practical management of patients with vitiligo. Based on the currently available literature, it is difficult to compare the efficacy of different treatment modalities not only because measurement of repigmentation is not standardized, but also because most published studies have been uncontrolled. The rather slow response of vitiligo to treatment represents yet another impediment to conducting appropriate clinical trials for this condition.Keywords
