Vitiligo has been, until recently, a rather neglected area in dermatology and medicine. Patients complain about this situation, which has offered avenues to quacks, and has led to the near orphan status of the disease. The apparently, simple and poorly symptomatic presentation of the disease has been a strong disadvantage to its study, as compared to other common chronic skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Vitiligo is still considered by doctors as a non disease, a simple aesthetic problem. A good skin-based angle of attack is also lacking because generalized vi- ligo is clearly epitomizing the view of skin diseases as simple targets of a systemic unknown dysregulation (diathesis), re? ecting the Hippocratic doctrine. This view has mostly restricted vitiligo to the manifestation of an auto-immune diathesis in the past 30 years. Thus, skin events, which are easily detected using skin biospies in most other situations, have not been precisely recorded, with the argument that a clinical diagnosis was suf? cient for the management (or most commonly absence of mana- ment) of the patient. This book is an international effort to summarize the information gathered about this disorder at the clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic levels. Its primary aim is to bridge current knowledge at the clinical and investigative level, to point to the many unsolved issues, and to delineate future priorities for research.

In this book, the author shared his personal experience in dealing with vitiligo, a skin disorder that physically and emotionally affects millions of people. Through diligent research, careful analyses, and persistent trial and errors, he finally achieved successful recovery by using a combination of commonly available therapies. The book also provides systematic and detailed information on effective vitiligo medications and therapies, including safety precautions and operating procedures, and can serve as a comprehensive guide for vitiligo treatment. Vitiligo is rarely an isolated skin disorder; rather, it is often one of the symptoms of certain underlying health issues. This is perhaps the reason why vitiligo is considered difficult to treat: without properly addressing the internal causes of vitiligo, repigmentation through topical treatment alone might not be effective or sustainable, and relapse could happen. The ultimate solution should be treating vitiligo from both inside and outside. The author shared his strategies and suggestions in tracking down and dealing with the internal issues. Vitiligo can be healed! This book will inspire you to take a new attitude: dealing with the condition actively, rather than accepting it passively. As a practical guide, it will certainly save you tremendous amount of time and money in your journey to complete recovery.

Vitiligo is often a frustrating condition for patients and dermatologists alike, but things are definitely looking up. Newer treatments are more effective and have fewer side effects. Furthermore, research in the pipeline now is very promising - both in eliminating the causes of vitiligo and forming new approaches to its treatment. As a dermatologist, I find that Vitiligo patients who stay abreast of the science behind the disease understand it better and make the best decisions regarding treatment, diet, and sun health. This books provides the medical information needed as well as practical tips for managing the condition. I do hope this book is useful for patients and families. Some of the material may appear at first to be "too hard" to read - but this is vitiligo - a lifelong condition with many causes and many approaches to treatment. If I had one wish beyond a cure for vitiligo it would be for it to become as well-known as freckles so that little children wouldn't feel the need to have printed cards explaining vitiligo to pass out to curious strangers. I hope this book answers all your questions about the disease.

Although vitiligo has traditionally been very difficult to treat, a new breakthrough surgical treatment is expanding options for practitioners and patients. Standard treatments depend on the severity of the condition and the patient's feelings of disfigurement. Cover-up cosmetics work well for some people. Other more sophisticated forms of treatment include gradually developing color back in the depigmented areas (repigmentation) by PUVA or other ultraviolet light treatments, but this is extremely slow and intensive, often requiring several hundred treatments. This new form of treatment, which involves surgically transplanting melanocytes into the white areas, is most successful in patients with stable vitiligo over less than 30% of their body surface area. It complements medical therapies in achieving complete and sustained repigmentation and is rapidly gaining popularity in all major centers. This is the first book available which describes this major advance in detail. Explains the new treatment of surgically transplanting melanocytes into the affected areas of the skin to provide dermatologists and surgeons with the latest state-of-the-art information Written by the international leaders who pioneered this treatment Presents all the latest information on the topic, eliminating the need to search through multiple sources for specific data
