Punti essenziali

  • Follows a skin event
  • Pigment is often reduced
  • Recovery can take months
  • Assess the original cause
01

History provides clues

Previous redness, scale, itching, a wound or treatment in the same location supports post-inflammatory change. Vitiligo often shows more complete pigment loss without visible prior inflammation.

02

Follow-up

Colour may return gradually. Growth, new patches or an unclear cause should prompt dermatological review.
