Postburn leukoderma is challenging to treat with different surgical and nonsurgical treatments resulting in variable outcomes. We report a case of a 56‐year‐old female with postburn leukoderma treated successfully with topical daylight psoralen UVA therapy for 6 months. The treatment was well tolerated and showed excellent improvement. In conclusion, we report the successful use of topical daylight PUVA for postburn leukoderma with almost complete repigmentation. This is a simple, convenient, and cheap nonsurgical treatment option.
