- Abstract: Vitiligo is common dermatologic disorder, but inflammatory vitiligo is a rare occurrence that is characterized by erythematous rim at the periphery of a patch of hypopigmented skin. Since the initial description of inflammatory vitiligo, only about 20 cases have been identified via a review of the literature. We herein report the first Korean case of inflammatory vitiligo developed in an 56-year-old male.
