was held in collaboration with INDERCOS and Cuban Vitiligo Support and Research Group, under the leadership of Prof. Jorge Luis Pérez Hidalgo (Cuba). International and national expert speakers discussed the latest basic research, advances, evidence and guidelines on diagnosis, investigation and management of vitiligo and other pigment cell disorders. Participants reviewed risk factors in vitiligo, treatment approach to patients of pediatric and adult age, a variety of therapeutic options for vitiligo, including 'traditional medicines.' We also discussed a common action at the United Nations aimed at improving quality of life of people with dermatological disabilities, and the World Vitiligo Day campaign.
