    AbstractUltraviolet-B (UVB) phototherapy for the treatment of vitiligo is an effective first-line choice.

Topical Photocil represents an innovative solution to this problem. The drug selectively filters solar radiation to deliver narrow-band UVB to vitiligo lesions. Here, we discuss how this novel topical cream could provide a convenient alternative to artificial light phototherapy.
