We explain phytophotodermatitis, a common skin condition that appears in late spring and summer. We discuss how citrus fruit juices (from limes, lemons, and mangoes) combined with UV sun exposure cause unusual rashes and dark streaks on the skin. We clarify that this is not an allergic reaction, but rather a chemical reaction between fruit acids and sunlight. We cover symptoms, treatment options with topical steroids, and prevention tips like wearing gloves when handling citrus fruits. #fyp #skin #rash #sun #skincare
