Summary

Vitiligo is a relatively common acquired disorder of pigmentation characterized by the development of well-defined white macules on the skin. Biopsies of lesional skin reveal a loss of epidermal melanocytes. Lesions may occur in a localized or generalized distribution and may coalesce into large, depigmented areas. Given the contrast between the white areas and normal skin, the disease is most disfiguring in darker skin types and has a profound impact on the quality of life of both children and adults . Patients with vitiligo often experience stigmatization, social isolation, and low self-esteem. The therapys include topical steroids, topical immunosuppresant, systemic steroids, phototherapy, and surgery.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of phototherpy and accupuncture combined therapy for vitiligo patients.
