<p>Pendahuluan: Vitíligo adalah kelainan didapat yang ditandai dengan bercak depigmentasi berbatas tegas akibat hilangnya melanosit fungsional. Kortikosteroid topikal masih merupakan terapi andalan. Tretinoin diduga juga mempunyai efek repigmentasi pada pasien vitiligo. Tujuan: Untuk membuktikan efektivitas penambahan tretinoin 0.025% pada krim desoksimetason terhadap repigmentasi vitiligo. Metode: Uji klinis dengan kelompok kontrol pre dan post test, pada pasien vitiligo di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RS Dr. Moewardi Surakarta antara Januari dan April 2019. Kelompok kontrol menerima desoksimetason saja sedangkan kelompok perlakuan mendapat tretinoin 0.025% dikombinasi dengan desoksimetason. Setiap lesi difoto dengan menyertakan penggaris sebagai skala untuk memudahkan penghitungan dengan program komputer, diproses mengunakan program Adobe photoshop CS5 extended version 12.0 x32, 2010 dan Coreldraw x7 version 17.0.0.491 2014 Corel corporation. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Mann Whitney dan Wilcoxon, nilai p <0,05 dianggap signifikan. Hasil: Hasil analisis gambar menunjukkan penurunan luas lesi signifikan pada kelompok studi dibandingkan kelompok kontrol pada bulan ke 3 setelah terapi (p = 0,000).Simpulan: Kombinasi tretinoin 0.025% dan krim desoksimetason lebih efektif daripada terapi tunggal dalam mengobati vitiligo.</p><p>Introduction : Various types of therapeutic modalities are used for repigmentation in vitiligo lesions and to stabilize the depigmentation process. Objective : To prove the efficacy of tretinoin 0.025% addition to desoximetasone cream in repigmentation process. Methods : Clinical trial with pre- and posttest control group design, conducted in vitiligo patients in Dermatovenereology Departement of Dr. MoewardiGeneral Hospital between January and April 2019. Control group received desoximethasone only and study group received tretinoin 0.025% combined with desoximethasone. Each lesion was photographed with a ruler scale to facilitate calculations with computer programs Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended version 12.0 x32, 2010 and Coreldraw x7 version 17.0.0.491 2014 Corel Corp. Statistical analysis used Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon test. Result : Image analysis revealed a significant decrease of lesion area in the study group (p=0.000). Conclusion: Combination of tretinoin and desoximetasone cream is more effective than single therapy in treating vitiligo.</p>
