METHODS: Fifty patients were included in the present study, only 33 patients continued the treatment for 6 months. Two patches were selected in every patient to be treated, one patch with micro-needling then application of 5 FU and excimer (Group A), and the other with excimer only (Group B).
RESULTS: The treatment with the combination of micro-needling then application of 5 FU and excimer showed significant earlier response versus excimer alone. Also, the percentage of re-pigmentation was higher in the patches treated with the combination especially in the face and trunk. The combination of 5 FU after micro-needling and Excimer is more suitable for localized and focal vitiligo.
CONCLUSIONS: Topical 5 FU after micro-needling is a promising, rapid, and cost-effective therapeutic strategy for treatment of non-segmental vitiligo It had limited side effects, and the best response was reported for lesions affecting face and trunk.
方法:本研究纳入50例患者,
结果:与单独使用准分子相比,微针刺然后应用5FU和准分子的组合治疗显示出明显的早期反应。
结论:微针刺后的局部5FU是有希望的,
