Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Vitiligo Vulgaris is a depigmenting disorder for which there is no definitive management modality. The response varies with various treatment modalities. Various repigmentation patterns such as perifollicular, marginal, diffuse, and mixed configuration can occur in vitiligo. Study aimed to clinically assess the types of repigmentation patterns obtained with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy to reveal the repigmentation patterns. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in government Thoothukudi Medical College Dermatology department from January 2015 to December 2015, and we enrolled 86 patients who had effective responses when treated with biweekly NBUVB. We evaluated the repigmentation patterns after 24 treatment sessions. Results: The most frequent repigmentation pattern was the perifollicular type followed by marginal, diffuse, and combined. Conclusion: The most common repigmentation patterns observed in our study was the perifollicular pattern followed by the marginal pattern with NB-UVB therapy.
