Early symptoms of vitiligo include smooth, white patches on the skin surface; hairs within these patches may also turn white or creamy-white. Currently, there is no specific medication that can completely cure vitiligo. Treatment options include topical corticosteroids or oral immunomodulatory agents to slow disease progression. Additionally, patients should avoid outdoor exposure during peak sunlight hours.
