Vitiligo in patients with skin of color is especially burdensome due to the stark contrast between pigmented and nonpigmented skin. Thankfully, recent breakthroughs can halt disease progression as well as repigment the skin. In this Next Steps in Derm interview from Skin of Color Update, Pearl E. Grimes, MD, FAAD, a noted vitiligo expert, shares the results of available therapies for vitiligo in patients with skin of color.
Dr. Grimes is founder and chair of the upcoming Pigmentary Disorders Exchange Symposium to be held June 6 and 7 in Chicago. The conference will provide an in-depth exploration of skin pigmentation, including pigmentary sequelae that follow inflammatory skin conditions. In addition, the expert faculty will cover pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and cutting-edge treatment strategies for primary pigmentation conditions, such as vitiligo, as well as congenital presentations, and acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation, across the full spectrum of skin types.
