- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 55-year-old male with a blistering rash present on his chest and arms for two days, previously diagnosed with phytophotodermatitis for a similar rash after working with a wild parsnip plant. The diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis was made based on the rash that spares areas protected from ultraviolet (UV). His treatment started with intravenous (IV) corticosteroids, followed by oral prednisone, IV cefazolin and one percent silver sulfadiazine cream.
