Vitiligo is a chronic acquired disease, characterized by de pigmented maculas in the skin, resulting from the selective destruction of melanocytes. Two cases are presented, case 1: 12-year-old male patient urban origin who attends the dermatology consultation in his health area. From the age of 7 it began with white spots on the face (around the eyes) and spread to all the body skin. Case 2, 11-year-old female patient of urban origin who attends the dermatology consultation, for 3 years has had acronical macula lesions. Patients were cyclicly treated with acupuncture and auto hemotherapy at acupuncture points. The evolution in both patients was satisfactory to treatment, due to the clinical response obtained.
