Vitiligo is the most common pigmentation disorder, with a worldwide prevalence of 1%. The loss of melanocytes from the skin is the main clinical feature of patients with vitiligo, resulting in depigmentation macules. Vitiligo has been classified into two major forms: non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) and segmental vitiligo (SV). NSV lesions are generally bilateral or symmetrically scattered over the entire body. Onset may occur at any age, but most patients develop vitiligo before 40 years of age, and the depigmentation evolves over time. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
