Abstract
Introduction: Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentation disorder of the skin with the manifestation of white macules due to the release of melanocytes. All therapies for vitiligo are limited and no treatment is known to consistently produce re-pigmentation in all patients. Case Presentation: A 43-year-old woman with this disease came with the chief complaint of white patches on the right forearm and back of the right and left hands. The white patches do not itch but make the patient feel uncomfortable and lower her self-confidence. Conclusion: Patients with vitiligo are characterized by white patches that develop and expand slowly over time, but each person is different. Topical corticosteroids still remain the gold standard in the treatment of small localized areas.
