    Overview

    Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes), resulting in patches of lighter skin. While there is no cure, treatments can help restore color or even out skin tone.

    Treatment Options

    Treatments include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), and the newer JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura), which is FDA-approved for vitiligo.
