Treatment guideline

In the dynamic field of dermatology, there is growing interest in experimental treatments for vitiligo. Experienced dermatologists often consider these novel approaches, either due to their unique availability in certain regions or because their potential benefits may surpass the associated risks.

However, approaching these treatments requires careful consideration. Drugs like azathioprine, HSP70i, prostaglandin, pseudocatalase, 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate, methylprednisolone, mynocycline, and simvastatin show promise in treating vitiligo. Yet, there's still a lack of clear understanding regarding who the ideal candidates for these treatments are and their comprehensive safety profiles. This uncertainty necessitates a cautious approach, balancing the potential for significant benefits against the unknown risks.
