This case report documents the development of vitiligo-like lesions in a patient with autoimmune thyroiditis following the use of topical squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia.

Repigmentation in vitiligo may come from melanocyte stem cells in the skin.

This study found increased H2O2 levels and decreased E-cadherin levels in vitiligo patients compared to controls, suggesting oxidative stress and compromised cell adhesion may impact the pigmentary system in vitiligo-affected skin.

This study reported successful repigmentation of perioral vitiligo using upper hair follicle transplantation combined with a 308 nm excimer laser, without undesirable hair growth in the treated areas, offering a potential approach for treating vitiligo cases unresponsive to traditional melanocyte transplantation.

This review discusses transplantation of melanocyte stem cells for vitiligo treatment and reports no new clinical results; it suggests the procedure could be effective in reactivating melanocyte precursors for repigmentation.
