    TLDR Acyclovir can prevent rejection of skin grafts in herpes-related lip leucoderma.
    The document discussed the use of acyclovir to prevent the rejection of punch grafts in cases of herpes-simplex-induced lip leucoderma. The authors, S. Malakar and S. Dhar from Duncan Gleneagles Clinic and Research Centre in Calcutta, India, reported that acyclovir was effective in aborting the rejection process in these cases. This finding was significant for improving the outcomes of surgical interventions in patients with this specific type of leucoderma.
