Abstract

Development of acquired idiopathic white patch on the skin is called vitiligo and around a nevomelanocytic nevus is called halo nevus. Our patient had a halo nevus in the forehead and vitiligo elsewhere. Complete remission of his vitiligo and halo nevus was achieved with topical tacrolimus ointment without incurring any harm to the patient.
