Clinical evaluation observes dermoscopic features across activity stages in vitiligo, highlighting its role as an objective activity assessment tool.
Vitiligo is the most frequent cause of depigmentation worldwide. It is a clinical diagnosis.Disease activity is a key parameter to consider when indicating treatment. Assessing vitiligo activity was longtime based on clinical evaluation and Wood lamp.
