Vitiligo is a long-term condition that causes pale, white patches to develop on the skin due to lack of a chemical called melanin. It can affect any area of the skin, but most commonly occurs on skin exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and hands (NHS Choices). This new edition has been fully revised to provide dermatologists with the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of vitiligo. Presented with a step by step approach, the book begins with an overview of the condition’s historical background, genetic susceptibility, and psycho-social aspects. The following sections discuss incidence of vitiligo with disorders of other body systems, aetiology, skin colour, diagnosis, and treatment. Complete chapters are dedicated to chemically induced leukoderma and vitiligo in children. The second edition features many new photographs, flowcharts and theories on the cause of vitiligo, as well as new treatment methods including lasers, tattooing, and surgery.

Vitiligo is often a frustrating condition for patients and dermatologists alike, but things are definitely looking up.  Inspired of tremendous amount of research in the field of vitiligo during the last few decades, most of the patients and General public still consider that is an vitiligo incurable disease. This is probably due to lack of knowledge and paucity of literature available to General public specially to patients. This book describes the different ways of presentation of vitiligo at different places of body with details of different treatments available for treating the disease. Written in a simple way with lots of photographs for better understanding the concept. The expected natural course and etio-pathogenic mechanism for development of vitiligo has also been described in detail Further, this complete handy e-Booklet provides extensive data on the basic science surrounding vitiligo, information about recent therapy, use of lasers, surgery, and other treatments An attempt has been made in this informative Complete E-Hand Booklet to serve the educational need of all those who wish to know about vitiligo specially the busy Medicos at an affordable price and that too at one Click! Covered in this E-Book: - Etymology - Medical Definition – Epidemiology - Vitiligo History - Vitiligo Research Timeline – Pathophysiology - Clinical Presentation -Differential Diagnoses – Investigations - Treatment & Management - Psychological and Social Impact - Researching genetics - Related Images ... and much more. ….

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.

Vitiligo is a chronic auto-immune disorder where permanent white patches appear on the skin and sometimes hair. It is most noticeable in skin of colour; it can be extensive, disfiguring and highly stigmatising in some cultures. For years there have been few truly effective treatments, but recent breakthroughs in the surgical treatment of the disease offer new options to clinicians, and hope to patients. Led by one of the foremost vitiligo educators and researchers into melanocyte transfer in the USA, Dr Iltefat Hamzavi, the author team has assembled this highly practical and clinical textbook for dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons. Handbook of Vitiligo: Basic Science and Clinical Management discusses all the latest management options available, from pharmacologic therapies (topical and systemic) to phototherapy and surgical procedures (including melanocyte-rich tissue grafts and autologous melanocyte suspension transplants). With contributions from a global team of experts, Handbook of Vitiligo offers a practical, clinically oriented overview to help clinicians choose the most effective treatment options for their patients. Summarises latest thinking on established therapies and emerging techniques Features practical, template-style text and emphasis on clinical application of techniques (not research data) Written by the key international names in the area

Since the first edition of this book was published, new knowledge has been gained on Vitiligo. This widely revised and updated second edition, written by worldwide experts in the field, fully reflects this progress. 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. A good skin-based angle of attack is also lacking because generalized Vitiligo is clearly epitomizing the view of skin diseases as simple targets of a systemic unknown dysregulation (diathesis). This view has mostly restricted Vitiligo to the manifestation of an auto-immune diathesis and skin events, which are easily detected using skin biopsies in most other situations, have not been precisely recorded, with the argument that a clinical diagnosis was sufficient for the management of the patient with Vitiligo. This richly illustrated second edition reflects the constant international effort to share the information gathered about this disorder at the clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic levels. Its aim still being to bridge current knowledge at the clinical and investigative level, to point to the many unsolved issues, and to delineate future priorities for research.
