Abstract
Berloque dermatit, bergamotun neden olduğu fototoksik dermatittir. Fototoksik etkilerine rağmen, bergamot kozmetik ürünlerde ve aromaterapi yağlarında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu olgu, yüz ve boyun bölgesinde hiperpigmente yamalı deri lezyonları ile başvuran 15 yaşında bir kız hastaydı. Klinik ve histopatolojik verilerin değerlendirilmesine dayanarak, hastaya ailesinin izni olmadan parfüm kullanımına bağlı Berloque dermatiti tanısı koyduk. Bu vaka çalışmasının bulguları, dermatologların, çocuk doktorlarının ve patologların hiperpigmentasyon vakalarında Berloque dermatitini göz önünde bulundurmaları gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.

Abstract
Berloque dermatitis is phototoxic dermatitis caused by bergamot. Despite its phototoxic effects, bergamot is commonly used in cosmetic products and aromatherapy oils. The present case was a 15-year-old female patient who presented with hyperpigmented patchy skin lesions on the face and neck areas. Based on the evaluation of clinical and histopathological data, we diagnosed the patient with Berloque dermatitis due to the use of perfume without her family's permission. The findings of this case study point to the need for dermatologists, pediatricians, and pathologists to consider Berloque dermatitis in cases of hyperpigmentation.
