Vitiligo is a chronic auto-immune disorder where permanent white patches appear on the skin and sometimes hair. It is most noticeable in skin of colour; it can be extensive, disfiguring and highly stigmatising in some cultures.

Summarises latest thinking on established therapies and emerging techniques Features practical, template-style text and emphasis on clinical application of techniques (not research data) Written by the key international names in the area
