In collaboration with Vitiligo.nl, the podcast 'Under the magnifying glass"The condition vitiligo often raises questions, but about which too little is known. Prof. Marcel Bekkenk (dermatologist, Amsterdam UMC/SNIP) addresses the question: what exactly is vitiligo and how does it develop?
Which tests are useful – and when should we consider a link to the thyroid? He discusses the effectiveness of treatment options, including ruxolitinib (Opzelura) cream, and examines what this means for patients. Non-medicinal options and the impact of vitiligo on quality of life are also discussed in detail.
