Answer: PHYTOPHOTODERMATITIS It happens when certain plant chemicals (limes, lemons, celery, parsley, figs, and some wild plants) get on your skin and are then exposed to UV light, triggering a phototoxic reaction. It often shows up 24–72 hours later as red streaks, blisters, or drip-like marks where the juice touched the skin. The inflammation usually heals within 1–2 weeks, but the dark pigmentation that follows can last weeks to months. Treatment is mostly cool compresses, topical steroids, and strict sun protection while the skin heals! Make sure to protect yourself out there! 👀☀️🕶️ #dermatology #phytophotodermatitis #skintok #rash #sunprotection
