Vitiligo - a disease: A position paper on stigmatization, life quality impairment and psychosocial comorbidity

M. Böhm, R. Sommer, U. Gieler, P. Staubach, A. Zink, C. Apfelbacher & E.M.J. Peters

Vitiligo is a common disorder characterized by the visible loss of skin pigmentation. Non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) is the major subtype. The disease is caused by autoimmune-mediated destruction of melanocytes. Vitiligo leads to stigmatization and a significant reduction in quality of life. We recommend optimizing care by incorporating the assessment of quality of life as a standard in routine care, in addition to monitoring disease activity.

The patients reported on sociodemographic/reproductive characteristics and quality of life impairments. The physicians assessed disease severity, comorbidities, and current treatment(s). Both patients’ and dermatologists’ perceptions of shared decision-making for the current systemic treatment were surveyed.
