Brief Summary
Patients will be included in a randomized controlled clinical trial, will enroll only adult vitiligo patients with surface area of at least 10% who are being followed in the outpatient dermatology clinics of King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) and are planned to start on phototherapy Narrow Band Ultraviolet light B (NBUVB), regardless if they have previous treatment for their disease, one month wash off period will be given for patients who are already on phototherapy or other treatments for vitiligo.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
efficacy of treatment
The area of vitiligo will be measured using body surface area (BSA) at baseline. the difference in BSA will represent the improvement from baseline. Patient palm will be used for estimation of BSA at each visit (Each one plam is equivalent to 1% of BSA). Photographs will be taken .
Baseline: measurement of vitiligo BSA with photographs of vitiligo areas. lab investigations done at this stage
Efficacy of treatment
The area of vitiligo will be measured using body surface area (BSA) at 3 months. the difference in BSA will represent the improvement from baseline. Patient palm will be used for estimation of BSA at each visit (Each one plam is equivalent to 1% of BSA). Photographs will be taken.
3 months post treatment
