Abstract
Vitiligo on the hands has a negative impact on daily lives of affected patients. However, hand lesions are usually considered to be resistant to treatments. Objectives were to classify hand vitiligo into subtypes and find prognostic factors using cluster analysis based on topography. A retrospective review of all available photographs and medical charts of patients with vitiligo lesions of the hands were performed. Cluster analysis was performed based on topography of hands divided into eight compartments: (i) fingertip, (ii) proximal interphalangeal joints, (iii) finger, (iv) metacarpophalangeal joints, and (v) dorsum.
