Özet: It is well known that people with chronic disease particularly use alternative treatment modalities along with medical treatment today as they did in the past. One of these is the plant known as Mayflower (Ranunculaceae), which is used especially for rheumatic diseases in our region. Although some of the plants are harmless when they contact with the skin, few can lead to irritating, allergic or phytotoxic dermatitis. By presenting this case with diagnosis of phytodermatitis, we intend here to remind that unconsciously used plant therapies can cause serious side effects.
