Recently, there are some reports that combination therapy with topical vitamin D(3) ointment and PUVA (psonalen ultraviolet A) or vitamin D(3) alone improved vitiligo. We conducted an open trial on 27 patients, most of whom had poor clinical responses to the prior therapies, topical steroid ointment and PUVA. The clinical effect revealed that 13 of 27 patients showed more than 30% improvement. Combination therapy with topical vitamin D(3) ointment and linear polarrised infrared, UVA, solar irradiation, can be used as an alternative therapy for vitiligo vulgaris.
