Effect of excimer laser treatment on vitiliginous areas with leukotrichia after confirmation by dermoscopy

Leukotrichia is clinically common in patients with vitiligo, and dermoscopy is useful for finding white vellus hair. The use of phototherapy in the repigmentation of vitiliginous areas with leukotrichia is usually difficult because of a deficient melanocyte reservoir.
