The mean global stigmatization score is 38%. Disease extent and disease severity are strong predictors of the DLQI (p < 0.0001). Vitiligo on the face\/head\/neck substantially affects the DLQI, independently of degree of involvement. The mean DLQI score before and after use of camouflage (n = 62) is 7.3 (SD 5.6) and 5.9 (SD 5.2; p = 0.006). Mainly the high-scoring items \u2018feelings of embarrassment and self consciousness\u2019 and \u2018choice of clothing\u2019 improve. Predictors of improvement are higher DLQI scores (p = 0.0005) and higher total severity scores (p = 0.03). <i>Conclusions:<\/i> Camouflage can be recommended, particularly in patients with higher DLQI scores or self-assessed disease severity.
