Tobias has depigmentation of his eyelashes (leukotrichia). Leukotrichia can affect between 10% and >60% of patients with vitiligo.The presence of leukotrichia decreases the chance of repigmentation. This is thought to be secondary to the loss of the melanocyte stem cell reservoir in the epithelium of the folliculosebaceous unit. #leukotrichia
