Welcome to A2A, ccookerca. It does sound like vitiligo. There is an interesting discussion of vitiligo and its treatment at http://ibmi.mf.uni-lj.si/acta-apa/acta-apa-05-4/2.pdf

cool I'm glad to hear there are possible treatments, I dont think ill ever need to go to the extend of skin grafting but idd give the NB-UVB a try, would you have a preferance on what was listed in the document?
