Abstract
Vitiligo vulgaris, although a noncommunicable disorder, is considered a disease of social stigma, which has a signficant impact on the psychosocial aspects of affected individuals. This stigma prompts patients to seek treatment modalities or alternative options that provide them with quick healing of the lesions, often without awareness of the potential side effects. One such treatment modality involves various products derived from the herb Psorylea corylifolia. We report a case in which the patient presented with phytophotodermatitis following the topical application of Bakuchi seeds for vitiligo vulgaris.
