Lime Dermatitis

Abstract

Phytophotodermatitis are skin eruptions caused by contact with a plant substance and exaggerated by exposure to sunlight. They are due to the presence of furocoumarins (psoralens, xanthotoxins, and bergaptenes) in the plant and involve 2 mechanisms of skin photosensitivity: phototoxicity or photoallergy.
