Dermatitis artifacta is a factitious dermatological disorder with many forms of presentation of self inflicted skin lesions in any part of the body. Dermatitis artefacta is a rare and difficult condition for diagnosis and treatment mostly because of the patient's denial. The liaison among primary care physicians, psychiatrists and dermatologists can be important in the management of these patients. In this report we describe a 17-year-old girl with dermatitis artefacta which was presented as bullous lesions on her face induced with a native herb combining with fake headaches. Keywords: Dermatitis; Factitious Disorders; Bollous lesionsImplication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: We described a 17-year-old girl with dermatitis artefacta which was presented as bullous lesions on her face induced with a native herb combining with fake headaches. Awareness of this rare condition will assist in the prevention of unnecessary investigation in similar cases, allow the early referral of patients for appropriate psychological counseling and early diagnosis.
