Information for the public
Ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is not normally available on the NHS for treating non-segmental vitiligo (development of pale white patches) affecting the face in people 12 years and over. Your healthcare professional should talk with you about other treatment options. If you are already having it, you should be able to continue until you and your healthcare professional decide when best to stop.
