E-book "Vitiligo: What's new, What's true" is coming out for the World Vitiligo Day on June 25, 2012.

In his review of "Vitiligo: Problems and Solutions" book published by Prof. Lotti and Prof. Hercogova in 2004, Ethan A. Lerner, M.D., Ph.D. writes: "The late Thomas Fitzpatrick, one of the leading dermatologists of the past 50 years, liked to quip that the three greatest problems faced by mankind were “the atom, the ovum, and the melanocyte.” In the new e-book on vitiligo an extensive range of therapeutic options from across the globe is discussed: topical steroids, ultraviolet light, vitamins, pigment-cell grafts, tissue-engineered skin, alternative treatments, cosmetic cover-ups and much more. A strength of the electronic format is that it allows fast updates on scientific breakthroughs, front-line therapeutic solutions, new drugs. This book will serve as a useful resource for patients, practitioners and researchers interested in this neglected disease.
