A mother brought her 8-year-old daughter to our office for evaluation of vitiligo "down there". The skin eruption first appeared on her vulva a year earlier and was intermittently pruritic.

The fish Astyanax mexicanus comes in two very different forms: a "normal" river morph, and a blind, depigmented cave morph, living in the total and permanent darkness of Mexican caves.
