Vitiligo is a disease characterized by disappearance of melanocytes from the skin. It can negatively influence the physical appearance of affected individuals, and may profoundly affect a person's psychosocial function and quality of life. Therefore, vitiligo should not be considered as merely a condition that affects a patient's appearance, but needs to be actively treated in patients who seek medical help. Phototherapy has been used as the main treatment modality for patients with vitiligo. Different forms of phototherapy for vitiligo include broadband UVB, narrowband UVB, excimer light and excimer laser, and psoralen plus UVA.
白癜风是一种以皮肤黑素细胞消失为特征的疾病。它会对患者的外貌产生负面影响，并可能深刻影响一个人的心理社会功能和生活质量。因此，白癜风不应仅仅被视为一种影响患者外貌的病症，对于寻求医疗帮助的患者需要积极治疗。光疗一直是白癜风患者的主要治疗方式。白癜风的不同光疗形式包括宽带紫外线B、窄带紫外线B、准分子光和准分子激光，以及补骨脂素加紫外线A。
