Article Synopsis
- Acral vitiligo is a challenging skin condition that often leads to psychological distress due to new lesions, and topical tacrolimus is explored as a potential preventive treatment.
- A study with 60 patients found that applying tacrolimus 0.1% on both vitiliginous and normal skin (Group A) resulted in a greater reduction in lesion numbers (5.6%) and area (10.5%) compared to applying it only on affected skin (Group B, 2.3% and 4.6% respectively).
- The results suggest that tacrolimus may effectively prevent new lesions and promote repigmentation when used on both affected and surrounding skin.

To compare the efficacy of recipient site preparation using three methods namely, dermabrasion, cryoblister, and dermaroller followed by NCES in stable vitiligo.
