Segmental vitiligo (SV) is usually characterized by a unilateral-dermatomal distribution, earlier onset and rapid progression followed by stabilization. The response to phototherapy in patients with SV is limited. We evaluated the treatment response in 39 cases of SV according to disease duration. Ten cases (50.0%) of Group 1 (duration ≤ 5 months) and five cases (26.3%) of Group 2 (duration > 5 months) showed more than 50% repigmentation. Contrary to previous reports, patients in our study responded well to medical treatments like oral steroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors and phototherapy when treated early after onset. The results suggest that early treatment is important.
节段性白癜风（SV）通常表现为单侧节段性分布，发病早、进展快，随后稳定。SV 患者对光疗的反应有限。我们根据病程评估了 39 例 SV 的治疗反应。第 1 组（病程≤5 个月）10 例（50.0%）和第 2 组（病程>5 个月）5 例（26.3%）的病例显示>50%复色。与之前的报道相反，我们的研究中患者在发病后早期接受口服类固醇、局部钙调磷酸酶抑制剂和光疗等治疗时反应良好。结果表明早期治疗很重要。
