Scleredema adultorum is a rare connective tissue disorder of unknown cause. Both bath‐PUVA and cream‐PUVA therapy were reported to be effective. We describe a patient with scleredema adultorum who showed a striking clinical improvement with a medium‐dose UVA1 phototherapy (single dose, 50 J/cm 2 ; 35 treatments).
