THE LIME JUICE IN THE PARTY COCKTAILS HAD MADE THE PATIENT'S SKIN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SUN!!

This 30 year old female was diagnosed with phytodermatitis. Prednisone and topical steroid prescribed. She was squeezing limes for drinks on Saturday for an outdoor party. She washed her hands but did not apply sunscreen before going outside for several hours.
Vesicles developed rapidly after 48 hours on both hands. 3rd photo is after 24 hours. This condition is also known as margarita dermatitis.

Phytophotodermatitis, or lime disease, occurs when plant material containing psoralens or furocoumarins touch skin that is subsequently exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
Within 24 hours, erythematous-irregular patches and streaks will appear, followed by vesicle and large bullae formation. A burning sensation often accompanies the rash. Lesions are replaced by hyperpigmented macules, which usually fade after a few months. This reaction occurs when psoralen or furocoumarin molecules covalently bond to DNA pyrimidine bases after being activated by ultraviolet light. This process leads to cell death. Plants of the genus Citrus (limes) and the family Apiaceae (wild carrots and parsnips) are known causes of phytophotodermatitis. Topical steroids can be used to hasten recovery, but no treatment is required in most instances.
