Podcast 'Under the Magnifying Glass' – Vitiligo.nl in conversation with Marcel Bekkenk from the Amsterdam UMC

In the June Spotlight, we announced that Vitiligo.nl is working on a podcast. In collaboration with Podcast 'Under the Magnifying GlassWe're creating a special episode about vitiligo. In this episode, we'll talk to dermatologist Marcel Bekkenk of the Amsterdam UMC about vitiligo.

We'll not only discuss what vitiligo is and what treatment options are available. We'll also discuss the disease burden and how a dermatologist determines which treatment method is best suited to each patient. In this context, we'll also address shared decision-making – the process in which a healthcare provider and patient jointly decide on a treatment or care plan.

Your opinion counts, make yourself heard!
You now have the opportunity to ask a question you previously didn't dare, couldn't, or didn't want to ask your doctor. For example, did you want to know more about the intensity of certain treatments? Or how best to deal with unpleasant comments? Or how you can have a greater say in the consultation room? Then let us know now.
If you have a tip for the dermatologist, we would also love to hear it!

What should you do?
Please record your question (max 15 seconds) and send it before September 22, 2025 Unpleasant chloe@vitiligo.nl. Do you find it difficult to record something? You can also email us!

We'll make a selection from all the submitted questions. The podcast will be recorded in October and released shortly thereafter. We'll keep you updated on our channels!
