Abstract
Vitiligo is an acquired cutaneous achromia characterized by depigmented macules of various shapes and sizes occurring irrespective of age, sex, and race. Vitiligo in children differs from that in adults by showing a higher incidence in females, segmental vitiligo being more common and less frequently associated with other systemic autoimmune and endocrine disorders. Childhood vitiligo deserves special attention not only because of its frequent occurrence but also being a tough challenge as regards to treatment is concerned.
