A cause of severe chemical burn: topical application of herbal medicines.

Z Karacor-Altuntas1, B Ince1, M Dadaci1, M Altuntas2.   

Abstract

We report a 73-year-old male patient with progressive chemical burn on his lower extremities following topical application of a mixture of the oils derived from Rosmarinus officinalis, Brassica nigra alba and Laurus nobilis. It should be kept in mind that herbal medicines which seem harmless can sometimes be dangerous and life-threatening, especially in elderly and diabetic patients.
