ABSTRACT:
A method of treating disorders marked by a loss of pigmentation, comprising the step of administering vitamin B12, copper, folic acid, and vitamin C to a patient suffering from a loss of pigmentation. Additionally, an effective amount of both pantothenic acid and zinc may be administered to the patient. Cutaneous repigmentation can be accelerated by the optional addition of exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light.
