Abstract

Vitiligo is a pigment disorder of the skin, characterized by areas of depigmentation. Different factors could affect the induction and progression of vitiligo such as emotional shock, stress, sunburn, and trauma. The Koebner phenomenon is the appearance of new lesions on previously unaffected skin secondary to trauma. I present a 35 year-man who developed areas of depigmentation on the cheeks, bilaterally, with asymmetry, after the use of ablative laser for melasma, followed by application of depigmenting agents.
