It works by permanently depigmenting the normal skin surrounding the vitiligo patches, making the skin color more uniform
Monobenzone cream is primarily used for depigmenting the skin in individuals with extensive vitiligo. It works by permanently lightening the unaffected skin surrounding the vitiligo patches, aiming to create a more uniform skin tone. This treatment is typically considered when vitiligo affects more than 50% of the body surface area and other treatments have not been successful.
