We present a 11-year-old girl with an 8-month history of vitiligo vulgaris on her postcervical, periocular, and periauricular regions. The region topically treated with 0.0002% tacalcitol ointment (vitamin D3 ointment) and sunlight exposure healed completely, while the region treated with the ointment alone did not improve. A combination therapy with tacalcitol ointment and sunlight exposure instead of UV irradiation can be recommended as an alternative therapy for vitiligo vulgaris because the treatment is safe and increases compliance in children.
