Workup
A dermatologist can help in the initial diagnostic workup to determine the cause (Wood's lamp evaluation, biopsy), the extent of lesions, and the presence of extracutaneous manifestations. [statpearls.com]
Laboratory workup revealed haemoglobin 10g/dL, complete blood count including differential count, platelet count, bleeding time and coagulation profile were within normal limits. Random blood glucose level was 46 mg/dL. [indianpediatrics.net]
In the absence of a positive family history for TSC or additional symptoms, further workup is unnecessary.184 5.1 Assessment A suspected diagnosis of Piebaldism or WS should be accompanied by a thorough history and physical examination (Figure 3). [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Thus, pernicious anemia must be differentiated from other disorders that interfere with the absorption and metabolism of vitamin B-12 (see DDx and Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Piebaldism is a rare genodermatosis in which depigmented skin areas are unresponsive to topical or light treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Piebaldism treatments include dermabrasion and split-skin grafting. The split-skin grafting treatment followed by minigrafting treatment gives appreciable results. [dynamicnaturesite.blogspot.com]
