Pediatric Vitiligo: Therapy, Safety, and Phototherapy Protocols
Key Takeaways First-line on face/neck: calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus 0.1% or pimecrolimus 1%) as steroid-sparing agents. Backbone for generalized disease: NB-UVB […]
Key Takeaways First-line on face/neck: calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus 0.1% or pimecrolimus 1%) as steroid-sparing agents. Backbone for generalized disease: NB-UVB […]
Key Takeaways Backbone therapy for generalized/nonsegmental vitiligo; best outcomes on face/neck, slower on acral sites. Typical schedule 2–3×/week for 24–48
Key Takeaways Backbone therapy for generalized/nonsegmental vitiligo with best responses on face/neck; acral lesions remain hardest. Typical schedules: 2–3×/week, incremental
Key Takeaways NB-UVB achieves comparable or superior facial repigmentation versus PUVA in multiple comparative studies, with fewer systemic adverse effects.
Key Takeaways NB-UVB (311–313 nm) consistently induces clinically meaningful repigmentation across multiple cohorts; face responds best, acral sites worst. Typical regimens
Key Takeaways Evidence for vitiligo has progressed from descriptive case series to randomized and phase-3 trials; the most mature clinical
