Vitiligo is the most common depigmenting disorder. However, therapies prove to be time-consuming, costly, or slow to show efficacy. Here, we present a case of a 74-year-old female with vitiligo who underwent full-body depigmentation treatment 50 years ago. Brown patches of repigmentation appeared on the patient's face and arms and were eventually treated with 88% phenol. Patient was later switched to compounded 3% glutathione cream for a more sustained effect. Phenol was an accessible, economical, and easily administrable therapeutic option that can result in short-term depigmentation.
白癜风是最常见的色素脱失性疾病。然而,治疗方法被证明耗时、昂贵或起效缓慢。在此,我们报告一例74岁白癜风女性患者,她在50年前接受了全身脱色治疗。患者面部和手臂出现了色素再沉着的褐色斑块,最终用88%苯酚进行了治疗。患者后来改用复方3%谷胱甘肽乳膏以获得更持久的效果。苯酚是一种容易获得、经济且易于给药的治疗选择,可导致短期脱色。
