The National Health Service in England will provide a new cream called ruxolitinib for treating non-segmental vitiligo, targeting the immune cells that cause skin pigmentation loss. Clinical trials showed it increased pigmentation in affected areas, offering a more targeted approach than existing options. The decision follows a reassessment by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, making it available for those aged 12 and older when other treatments fail.
