My almost 9 year ild son has extensive vitiligo plus Hashimotos. His dermatologist suggested, today, that we stop NUVB treatments for the summer (he has had some success on his trunk/upper body, not much on legs). Just wondering if there are any thoughts on this. We will continue with elidel 2/day.

I would think his exposure to the sun in the summer will give him enough of the good rays, that he wont miss anything by not getting NUVB treatment. I am interested to hear what other think though.
yes I agree I substitute the UVB with the sun when I can as I think it works better as long as you don't burn and then I use UVB when we have rubbish weather....which is quite often in UK!!!
