Clinically Vitiligo can be classified as:

1. Segmental type – This can affect one or multiple segments of the body.
2. Non-segmental type – Which can be acrofacial (affecting face, head, perioral, hands, and feet), mucosal (genital and oral mucosa involvement), generalized (any part of the body), universal (>80-90% body involvement), mixed (involvement of segmental and non-segmental type).
3. Unclassified or indeterminate – Can be focal (isolated spots are seen without segmental distribution) or mucosal (where only one mucosa is involved).

The exact etiopathogenesis of vitiligo is still unknown, but several theories have been proposed:

1. Autoimmune Theory
2. Adhesion Defect Theory
3. Neural Defect
4. Vitiligo’s Biochemical Theory
5. Intrinsic Theory
6. Viral Theory
7. Integrated Theory

2. Physical Therapy – Use of UV radiation.
3. PUVA Light Therapy – Should be done under supervision. It Involves the use of UVA and the photosensitizing drug, psoralen.
4. NBUVB Therapy – Use of narrowband UVB (311 nm) to restore skin colour, no need for oral psoralens, safe, minimum side effects.
5. Excimer LASER – Use of coherent and monochromatic light, 308 nm to restore colour.
6. Surgical modalities – They are used when the vitiligo is stable. Methods used are Split-thickness skin grafting and Melanocyte transfer.
