A New Approach to Vitiligo Treatment: Combining Calcipotriene and Corticosteroids
This study investigates the efficacy of combining calcipotriene, a vitamin D analogue, with topical corticosteroids for treating vitiligo, a skin condition characterized by depigmentation. The researchers hypothesized that this combination therapy could enhance repigmentation while minimizing side effects. Their study, involving 12 patients, demonstrated significant repigmentation in the majority of participants, even in those who had previously failed treatment with topical corticosteroids alone. The findings suggest that combining calcipotriene and corticosteroids may offer a promising new approach to treating vitiligo.
