Topical Tacrolimus in Vitiligo: Consensus Paper from the Pigmentary Disorders Society
Topical tacrolimus ointment has a favorable risk benefit profile to be used as one of the first-line agents for vitiligo. Combination of topical tacrolimus and narrow band Ultraviolet-B (NBUVB) was recommended as an effective treatment for non-segmental vitiligo. Recommended frequency of application was once or twice daily for optimal results. Apart from a transient burning sensation, topical tacrolimus has a favorable safety profile.
