Vitiligo In Adults And Adolescents

Vitiligo causes white patches or depigmentation of the skin; it is the most common form of vitiligo. It affects around 0.5% – 2% of the population globally. Vitiligo can occur at any age and affects people of all races and ethnicities. Currently limited treatment options include topical steroids, vitamin D3, calcineurin inhibitors, topical immunomodulators, phototherapy, surgical treatments, and camouflage. MetroBoston is conducting clinical trials in vitiligo to determine the safety and efficacy of new potential treatments that may improve skin pigmentation.
