    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by depigmentation.
    • Understanding the epidemiology and clinical presentation of vitiligo is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of vitiligo patients attending polyclinics in Benghazi.
    • To investigate treatment response and potential associations with other diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of vitiligo patient records from Benghazi polyclinics over a 9-month period.
    • Data collected included age at onset, age at reporting, affected body areas, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Vitiligo represented 0.33% of all dermatological cases reviewed.
    • The mean age at onset was 19.38 years, and mean age at reporting was 23.06 years.
    • Exposed areas showed more frequent involvement in men; vitiligo areata responded better to treatment. Genetic predisposition was not confirmed, but associations with autoimmune diseases were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitiligo is a notable dermatological condition in Benghazi, with specific demographic and clinical patterns.
    • Early reporting and targeted treatments, especially for vitiligo areata, may improve outcomes. Further research into autoimmune associations is warranted.
