Abstract

Vitiligo is one of the pigmentary disorders. It is characterized by well demarcated depigmented patches
which can be embarrassing to patients. There are different modalities of treatment and these include topical
agents (steroids, antioxidants, biologics), systemic agents (steroids, antioxidants, biologics) and light
therapies (Psoralen plus UVA, Narrow band UVB, Excimer lasers). We report a case of segmental vitiligo in a
20-year-old female treated with narrow band UVB (NB-UVB).
