Depigmentation ("unifying skin color") in vitiligo: medical solution or psychological decision?

توحيد لون البشرة في البهاق.. حل طبي ولا قرار نفسي؟

Studio interview (5m 18s / 5m 34s) explaining when depigmentation (`توحيد لون البشرة`) is medically indicated in vitiligo (only when repigmentation fails and vitiligo covers >30–50% of exposed areas), why depigmenting creams must be applied with gloves so caregivers do not develop chemical vitiligo, Q-switched laser for residual dark spots, and debunking the myth of "skin-whitening/unifying injections" (`إبر توحيد اللون`).
