Segmental vitiligo, a skin condition, often starts young and spreads quickly. Researchers classified facial segmental vitiligo into five distinct patterns, aiding in predicting lesion spread.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Segmental vitiligo typically manifests early in life.
  • Rapid spread within the affected area is characteristic of segmental vitiligo.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify the distribution patterns of segmental vitiligo on the face.
  • To identify distinctive features for each pattern of facial segmental vitiligo.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of 191 patients with segmental vitiligo involving the face.
  • Analysis of lesion distribution to establish classification patterns.

Main Results:

  • A classification system with 5 distinct patterns for facial segmental vitiligo was developed.
  • Each pattern exhibited unique and identifiable features.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed classification provides a framework for understanding facial segmental vitiligo.
  • This classification may offer insights into the potential future spread of early lesions.
