Why is it important?
When punctate vitiligo coexists with classical vitiligo macules, it is best classified as nonsegmental vitiligo. Confetti‑like depigmentation has also been reported after psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy in patients with more classic vitiligo as an adverse effect of PUVA therapy.
