Introduction: Vitiligo is an acquired disease of complex pathogenesis, in which the immunologic attack to the skin and hair follicle melanocytes leads to areas of depigmentation and leukotrichia, respectively.
Objectives: To study the dermoscopic features of the hair changes in vitiligo lesions in comparison to perilesional control areas and in relation to disease duration.
Methods: Forty-seven patients with both old and recent vitiligo lesions were included.
Background: NB-UVB has long been the vitiligo management pillar with capability of achieving the main treatment outcomes; repigmentation and stabilization. Its stabilizing effect in dark skin has been debatable. However, randomized controlled trials regarding NB-UVB ability to control disease activity are lacking.

Objectives: The aim of the present study is to explore the efficacy and safety of using different concentrations of intralesional corticosteroid combined with NB-UVB phototherapy in the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) patients.

Article Synopsis
- Nonsegmental vitiligo is often thought to be symmetrical, but this study investigates how valid that idea is by examining clinical characteristics and lesion patterns in patients.
- A study of 712 patients revealed that 78% showed bilateral involvement, with some areas of the body having more similarity in lesion distribution than others.
- The findings suggest that there's significant symmetry in vitiligo lesions, which could help in creating a better understanding of the disease and potentially improve patient care.
Background: Cobblestoning is the most common complication of minipunch grafting.
Objective: To assess the value of silicone gel application following minipunch grafting and the histopathological and immunohistochemical changes in cases with cobblestoning.
Methods: Minipunch grafting was performed in two similar vitiligo lesions in 27 cases with stable vitiligo.
