ABSTRACT
The current management of vitiligo remains challenging; however, different strategies can be proposed to patients with a good efficacy in many cases. First, it is important to identify patients in the active phase of the disease because treatment should start as soon as possible to halt its progression. For patients with a stable disease, the treatment strategy is now well-stratified and is based on a combination of phototherapy (natural or in a cabin) and topical immunomodulatory agents. Surgical treatments are useful for localized and stable vitiligo, as well as for segmental vitiligo. Depigmentation remains indicated in very extensive forms. The recent approval of topical ruxolitinib cream in both the US and Europe brings new approaches for the management of vitiligo and paves the way for the development of new topical or oral targeted drugs.
