Acrofacial: Depigmentation occurs on parts away from the center of the body such as face, head, hands and feet. Vulgaris: This is characterized by scattered patches that are widely distributed. Mixed: Acrofacial and vulgaris vitiligo occur in combination, or segmental and acrofacial vitiligo and/or vulgaris involvement are noted in combination. Universal: This is complete or nearly complete depigmentation.
