Hoseny SME - Vitiligo is an acquired condition that presents as sharply demarcated white macules. It affects 1–2% of people of all races, regardless of gender or age. Although the disease does not have any systemic complications, it is of great concern, particularly in darker-skinned individuals. Surgical therapies were used in conjunction with medical therapy to achieve repigmentation after the disease was stabilized.
