چکیده
The speaker gave a brief review of published reports on the medical therapy of vitiligo in the last five years. First of all, the use of topical agents was discussed. Fifty percent of the patients had more than 75% of their lesions repigmented after 0.1% tacrolimus treatment. The efficacy was comparable to clobetasol propionate. There was limited data on pimecrolimus but a trial showed that its efficacy was comparable to that of clobetasol propionate. Imiquimod was not effective for treating vitiligo. The use of calcipotriol was controversial due to conflicting reports. A study on topical prostaglandin (PEG2) showed significant repigmentation in those with limited vitiligo.
