- Abstract
Phytophotodermatitis (PPD) is a phototoxic reaction which occurs when the skin comes in contact with a photosensitizer and is subsequently exposed to radiation. PPD is often seen in people handling furocoumarin-containing products, such as agricultural workers, bartenders, florists, and gardeners. It may also be seen in beachgoers, athletes, and children. The pattern of the lesions usually resembles streaks; the hands and mouth are most commonly affected due to eating and handling of the offending furocoumarincontaining agents.
