Here's a query from our Dermatologist. She has a mixed-race (female) patient who has rapidly developed hypopigmentation. Nothing of note in the biochemical and endocrinological investigations they have done. Skin biopsy said not to be typical of vitiligo. She asks is the assay of melanocyte stimulating in serum available (and I guess relevant)? I have done some basic AssayFinding and PubMedding without much success.
Thanks in anticipation
