Phytophotodermatitis: still a poorly recognised diagnosis
Statistics from Altmetric.com
Description
A 30-year-old man, forestry worker, with no medical history, presented acutely with pruritic erythematous streaks and bullae (figure 1) in linear configuration on his arms. On the previous day he had pruned branches from a fig tree and carried them with his forearms wearing a sleeveless shirt. Symptoms gradually resolved over 4 weeks of topical treatment with clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream (figure 2).
