Vitiligo is a long-term condition that causes pale, white patches to develop on the skin due to lack of a chemical called melanin. It can affect any area of the skin, but most commonly occurs on skin exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and hands (NHS Choices).This book is a comprehensive guide to the management of vitiligo covering clinical, medical and surgical treatment, as well as the emerging role of phototherapy.The book’s expert authors guide clinicians through the latest innovations and research in treatment such as cellular grafting techniques, immunomodulators, JAK inhibitors, laser-assisted therapies, and combination approaches, while also offering step by step procedural guidance on surgical techniques including melanocyte transplantation and suction blister grafting.Phototherapy is discussed in depth, with detailed explanations of protocols such as narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB), psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA), and excimer laser; emphasising its use for optimal results and minimal side effects.The text is enhanced by case studies, clinical images and comparative treatment visuals, ensuring practical insights and comprehensive understanding.Psychosocial aspects of the condition are considered and guidance offered on counselling techniques tailored to individual patients’ needs.
