ABSTRACT
A 42-year-old Korean female patient with vitiligo universalis had depigmentation therapy with 20 monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone(MBEH). Noticeable lightening was observed 1 month after depigmentation therapy, three months later, complete depigmentation was achieved. As depigmentation induced by MBEH is generally irreversible, MBEH must be reserved for induction of complete depigmentation in severe cases of vitiligo in which the patients themselves do not want repigmentation and who can aecept the consequences of permanent non-tanning skin.
