Hidden burden of non‐exposed vitiligo: Psychological and quality of life impact in 283 patients

Among 283 individuals studied, many report feelings of social isolation and anxiety due to their skin condition.
Analysis of patient-reported outcomes highlights the need for mental health support in vitiligo management.
The findings suggest efforts should focus on improving social support and coping strategies for affected individuals.
