Phytophotodermatitis is a plant-induced cutaneous photosensitive reaction, being the most common phototoxic reaction in children. The diagnosis is clinical, and the presentation can range from mild erythema to severe blisters according to the intensity of exposure. The physical examination often reveals an irregular pattern with arciform contact lesions. No treatment is required in mild cases, with reactive hyperpigmentation usually fading with time.
