Özet

In spite of the development of modern medical

methods, patients have still frequently used alternative

herbal remedies in recent years. We frequently

encounter cases of allergic and irritant contact

dermatitis in dermatology clinics as a result of the

topical use of folk medicine, especially for dermatological

and rheumatological diseases.1,2 Despite the

many side effects from using garlic, patients use it

because of its many beneficial effects for centuries. In

this case report, we will present a case of irritant contact

dermatitis due to the application of garlic.
