“…Topical steroids are impractical when large surface areas are affected, and carry risk of systemic absorption with suppression of the adrenal axis, in addition to striae and skin atrophy (1). Topical calcineurin inhibitors appear to have fewer risks but are costly, less effective, and treat only focal disease (17). Systemic immunosuppression has been reported to halt the progression of vitiligo and reverse disease through repigmentation (18), however the risks associated with a non-targeted systemic approach are substantial, and usually deemed unacceptable when compared to the benefits.…”

Recent studies have shown that alterations in dietary intake and oral supplementation can be beneficial in the treatment of many diseases, including vitiligo.…”
