Özet
Phyto contact dermatitis is a skin reaction caused by plants.
Allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis are the
most common forms of the entity. Ranunculaceae is a family of
plants that has irritant and toxic potential due to content of ranunculin.
We have reported a 57 year-old woman with a phyto contact
dermatitis following the application of Ranunculus Damascenus
on her knees to relieve the joint pain. The patient was treated
completely with wound dressing, topical antibiotics, systemic antihistamines
and a short course of systemic methylprednisolone.
According to our knowledge this is the second case report of
phyto contact dermatitis in literature associated with Ranunculus
Damascenus.
