Abstract |
Phytophotodermatitis is a phototoxic cutaneous eruption due to skin exposure to furocourmarins combined with ultraviolet light. Bizzare linear patterns, ranging from erythema to bullae with residual hyperpigmentaion, is the clinical clue to this diagnosis. Avoidance of furocoumarins in direct sunlight can prevent recurrences.
