Lesions were classified as stable, progressive or repigmenting based on history and\/or clinical photography. In total, 101 lesions in 40 patients were followed up at 3\u2005months. The lesions were reclassified based on photographic comparison with baseline images. The dermoscopic findings included the type and distribution of pigment network, margin definition, perifollicular and perilesional pigmentation, leucotrichia and discernibility of eccrine openings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most stable lesions showed complete absence of pigment network at both baseline (52 of 56, 93%) and follow-up (38 of 47, 81%). Progressive lesions showed variability in both the type and distribution of pigment, along with ill-defined margins (34 of 68, 50%) and perilesional hypopigmentation (27 of 68, 40%). Micro-koebnerization, perilesional white globules, peppering of pigment at the periphery of the lesion, and loss of pigment in a linear pattern in the periphery were specific for progressive disease. Repigmenting lesions demonstrated perilesional (38%) and perifollicular hyperpigmentation (77%). Well-defined margins and perilesional hyperpigmentation at baseline were associated with lesions remaining stable, whereas lesions with focal or diffuse reduction of pigment and perilesional hypopigmentation and\/or white globules were more likely to progress.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dermoscopy is useful in determining disease activity and has potential utility in assessing the outcome of vitiligo lesions in a large proportion of cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ced\/llaf431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,20]],"date-time":"2025-09-20T11:50:01Z","timestamp":1758369001000},"page":"401-410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A prospective observational study of the dermoscopic findings of nonsegmental vitiligo in different stages of evolution"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4807-6018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Narayanan","family":"Baskaran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences , New Delhi ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Binod K","family":"Khaitan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences , New Delhi ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6327-6037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vishal","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences , New Delhi ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Ramam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences , New Delhi ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanika","family":"Sahni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences , New Delhi ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60763-7","article-title":"Vitiligo","volume":"386","author":"Ezzedine","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-0218.137150","article-title":"A clinical study of vitiligo in a rural set up of Gujarat","volume":"39","author":"Vora","year":"2014","journal-title":"Indian J Community Med"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.4103\/idoj.IDOJ_124_18","article-title":"Clinico-epidemiological profile of patients with vitiligo: a retrospective study from a tertiary care center of North India","volume":"10","author":"Mahajan","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian Dermatol Online J"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.32708","article-title":"Vitiligo: compendium of clinico-epidemiological features","volume":"73","author":"Sehgal","year":"2007","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B5","first-page":"60","article-title":"Disease stability in segmental and non-segmental vitiligo","volume":"13","author":"Taneja","year":"2021","journal-title":"Indian Dermatol Online J"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-2077.112667","article-title":"Stability in vitiligo: is there a perfect way to predict it?","volume":"6","author":"Sahni","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Cutan Aesthet Surg"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-2077.53101","article-title":"Stability in vitiligo: why such a hullabaloo?","volume":"2","author":"Gupta","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Cutan Aesthet Surg"},{"key":"2026022406174457900_llaf431-B8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-2077.178538","article-title":"Is lesional stability in vitiligo more important than disease stability for performing surgical interventions?
