Abstract

ABSTRACT Vitiligo is a common depigmenting condition that carries a high psychosocial morbidity, especially when it occurs over exposed areas like lips. Many of the current topical and systemic therapies are less effective in lip vitiligo, and surgical modality remains the mainstay of treatment of lip vitiligo. The 308-nm excimer laser in combination with topical calcineurin inhibitors and calcipotriene is effective in the treatment of lip vitiligo. This case series provide further evidence to support effectiveness of 308-nm excimer lamp even as monotherapy in darker individuals with lip vitiligo.
