Brief Summary   This study aims to develop and validate the Shvitra Severity Scale to assess the severity of vitiligo in patients. The primary objective is to create a validated tool for classifying patients based on their condition’s severity, aiding treatment decisions. The secondary objective evaluates the efficacy of two Ayurvedic treatments Shashilekha Vati  250 mg twice a day internally and Bakuchi Taila externally for 90 days. Treatment outcomes will be assessed after 90 days using the developed  Shvitra Severity Scale, Wood’s lamp  Mexameter interferon-gamma levels CXCL10 gene expression  and the VIS-22 quality of life questionnaire. This study fills a gap by introducing a validated severity scale improving patient classification treatment evaluation and supporting evidence based Ayurvedic practices for vitiligo.
