A member asked:
I have no pigmentation in the elbows, nuckles, and knees. i used corticosteroids topically and i regain all the color, but when i stop it regress.

An immune disorder : Good morning, apparently your immune system has developed an auto-antibody to pigment producing cell. You may have to continue the steroid cream to suppress inflammation. Milder anti-inflammatory creams (elidel) may work with less side effects. The condition may resolve in due course.
