Uvb nb phototherapy
I bought a hand held uvb narrowband lamp for home use to treat my vitiligo. For what duration should I expose my skin to uvb light and should I gradually increase the time? I haven't started yet.
Areas where I have vitiligo :
Lips
Hands
Elbow
Inner thigh
Penis
These are all very tiny patches, and iv had them for over six years.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You should really consult a dermatologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Not just light is required.
Some creams are also required.
And unless should are planning to do things your own way, you should take a dermatologist's opinion.
Best regards.
