Magistral drugs prepared with plants in nature have been used all over the world for centuries to treat various diseases. However, besides the benefits expected from plants, unexpected side effects can also be encountered. Irritant contact dermatitis is one of the dermatosis that these plants can cause. Ranunculaceae species are used in conditions such as rheumatic diseases, hemorrhoids, wound healing, abscesses, psoriasis. In the literature, there are reported cases of irritant contact dermatitis depending on various species of the Ranunculaceae family. Here, we present three cases of irritant contact dermatitis, which have been used as an antirheumatic in the traditional treatment and Ranunculaceae family (Buttercup, Mayflower) depending on the topical use of Ranunculus arvensis species and, to make the compilation literature of cases reported from Turkey.
We are grateful to the Hasan Serdar Turkmen, MD for his cooperation.
