Three patients had been suffering from benign halo nevus and focal vitiligo. They were treated with topical tacrolimus for 12 months. Remission was achieved in both the diseases. Pigmented moles of the halo nevi were unchanged and no harm was incurred to the patients. There was minimal self-limiting side effect from the tacrolimus.
