Babchi oil-induced phytophotodermatitis mimicking burn injury

Babchi (Psorylea corylifolia) is occasionally used by patients as a herbal treatment in conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo, due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune-modulatory properties (Shrestha et al., 2018; Chopra et al., 2013).

description Babchi (Psorylea corylifolia) is occasionally used by patients as a herbal treatment in conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo, due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune-modulatory properties (Shrestha et al., 2018; Chopra et al., 2013). Due to its psoralen containing furocoumarins, it has the potential to induce photosensitive reactions. We present the first reported case of Babchi-induced phytophotodermatitis in the UK, presenting as sunburn.
