Recent onset vitiligo on acral areas treated with phototherapy: need of early treatment.

Abstract
In vitiligo, the effect of phototherapy depends on lesional location. While face and neck lesions generally show good responses, acral areas are resistant to phototherapy. We describe two cases of recent onset vitiligo on acral areas that showed an excellent response with phototherapy. These results suggest that even acral areas in vitiligo can be markedly improved by phototherapy if it has a recent onset.
