ABSTRACT

Observation:

The toxic reaction development due to furocoumarins found in the constitution of plants is called phytophotodermatitis. Chenopodium album is a plant species prevalent worldwide. It particularly grows in moist areas. Chenopodium album can cause phototoxic reactions with exposure to sun following oral intake, due to its furocoumarin content. In this article, we present a case of Chenopodium album induced phototoxic dermatitis. We considered presenting this patient due to the rareness of the case.
