Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) is a rare multisystem disorder with cutaneous, ophthalmic, neurologic, and auditory manifestations. There is a paucity of published literature regarding the management of cutaneous features in VKH. We report a case of VKH-associated vitiligo responsive to topical corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors.
