Textbook of Contact Dermatitis

Abstract

Contact dermatitis from plants or plant products may occur by several mechanisms. Irritant reactions may be mechanically or chemically induced; these are not commonly seen. The most common dermatoses seen in dermatology clinics comprise delayed and immediate contact reactions of allergic aetiology. Photoirritant reactions also occur quite commonly, but photoallergic reactions seem to be very rare. Reactions of mixed aetiology do occur — thus, irritant and allergic reactions are often superimposed, while mechanical plus chemical irritant effects are evoked by, for example, stinging nettles. These mechanisms are discussed more fully in [1] and [2] as well as in Chap. 2. Unusually, some plants and plant products may evoke dermatoses (including photodermatoses) following ingestion or internal administration by other means. Such reactions are, however, beyond the scope of this chapter.
