Abstract

Vitiligo is a common, acquired, pigmentary disorder of skin and hair resulting from the destruction of functional melanocytes. It is characterized by well-circumscribed, asymptomatic depigmented macules. Ichthyosis is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin that may be thick or very thin. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Here we report an unusual case of vitiligo with icthyosis and conjunctivitis in a 5 yr old boy.
