[Treatment of vitiligo]
Abstract
The treatment of vitiligo is still unsatisfactory in many patients. The only two methods that have been evaluated in numerous patients are classic psoralen-light therapy and local treatment with potent fluorinated corticosteroids. These two methods in addition to some more recent therapies that have still been insufficiently investigated are reviewed in light of the data in the newer literature.
