A Potential Alternative Treatment for Vitiligo: An Observational Study on Tacrolimus 0.3% Lotion.

Vitiligo is a complex multifactorial disorder of depigmentation affecting 0.5 to 2% of the world's population without specific gender or racial prevalence.1 Though no treatments are FDA approved to repigment vitiligo, topical medications along with phototherapy alone or in combination remain the mainstay of therapy. While Janus Kinase inhibitors and other agents are in development, current topical options are mainly limited to steroid formulations of various potencies or immunomodulatory steroid-sparing agents such as tacrolimus 0.03% or 0.1%.
