Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is a common depigmentation disorder occurring in about 1% of the population worldwide. The disease causes the appearance of white patches on the skin. If vitiligo involves most of the body, it might be easier to depigment the normal remaining skin rather than to attempt repigmentation.

The mechanism of toxicity of MBEH has remained little understood.
