“…The nettle, 8 Urtica dioica or Urtica urens, a plant found in shrubbery close to trails frequented by men or other animals and even in gardens as weed, is capable of provoking papular-pruriginous lesions in areas of the skin that entered in contact with the plant. It is similar to an urticaria outbreak -the name of the disease originated from this plant.…”

Dermatosis caused by plants is relatively common and may occur by various pathogenic mechanisms. Dermatitis due to physical trauma, pharmacological action, irritation, sensitization, mediated by IgE and induced by light are described. Pseudophytodermatosis caused by plant-delivered elements is also described in the introduction to this work. Keywords: Allergy and immunology; Dermatitis; Plants; Skin diseases Resumo: As dermatoses causadas por plantas são relativamente comuns no nosso meio e podem ocorrer por diversos mecanismos patogênicos.

“…Even if some substances have been reported to cause urticaria in the neonatal period (American ginseng and prostaglandin E 1 ) [4,8], the information concerning urticaria with stinging nettle is only based on adult cases. Stinging nettle can cause a wide range of cutaneous reactions, including stinging nettle-induced urticaria [1]. Immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to the stinging nettle may also occur [5].…”

Urticaria due to Urtica dioica in a neonate

et al. 2010

Urticaria is one of the most common dermatoses during the childhood, but it is very rare in the neonates. A 17-day-old infant with a generalized urticaria was admitted to our pediatric emergency unit. The mother of the infant reported having applied water boiled with stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) onto her nipples twice a day (before and after each breastfeeding) for 2 days in order to heal her nipple cracks. Serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgE levels for stinging nettle were high in the infant and the mother. The rashes began to regress within the first day of the hospitalization and disappeared completely on the second day without treatment. The skin prick test with the water boiled with stinging nettle was positive for the infant with significant induration, but not for the mother. Conclusion Reporting the first urticaria case in newborns due to stinging nettle, the authors suggest that breastfeeding mothers should always consult a physician before using skincare products.

“…Used in food, paints and cosmetics for centuries due to its rich chemical content, the stinging nettle is extensively used in the treatment of rheumatic and other diseases in Turkey (10,11). Anderson et al (12) have reported that contact with stinging nettle leads to pruritus, dermatitis and urticaria, and that the reaction is associated with certain substances released by the scape and leaves of the plant. There are cases of contact dermatitis in the literature that were caused by hand contact with artichoke, sumac and ivy (13,14).…”

Herbal medicines are commonly used in the eastern regions of Turkey, especially in the treatment of rheumatic complaints. In addition, the use of various foods and drinks for cosmetic purposes is increasing among Turkish people. Despite this extensive use of alternative treatment methods for medical and cosmetic purposes, comprehensive research is still required due to the severe local and systemic adverse effects of these treatments. Here, cases of phyto contact dermatitis due to "Ranunculus kotchy boiss" and "Urtica" and irritant contact dermatitis associated with butter are presented.
