Case Report
Vitiligo
A 44-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism presented to dermatology with “white spots.” The lesions were not itchy or painful and appeared 2 years ago. Since that time, they have expanded in size. The patient stated that her mother had similar spots growing up. Physical examination showed well-defined white macules scattered across the back. Wood’s lamp examination showed a bright blue-white fluorescence at areas of involvement. There was no discoloration of the hair or mucous membranes or changes of the nail.
