Summary

This study tests whether a cream containing rapamycin, applied daily for six months, can help restore skin color in people with vitiligo. Twenty participants aged 13 and older with nonsegmental vitiligo will apply the cream to one patch of skin and a placebo to another. The goal is to see if the treatment leads to partial or complete repigmentation and improves quality of life.
