Topical application of crushed garlic caused a second-degree forehead burn in a patient. This case highlights the potential for garlic to induce skin injury, necessitating a review of existing literature on garlic burns.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Ethnobotany

Background:

  • Garlic (Allium sativum) is widely used in traditional medicine and culinary practices.
  • The topical application of certain plant-based remedies can lead to adverse skin reactions.
  • Understanding the dermatological risks associated with traditional remedies is crucial for patient safety.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a second-degree burn on the forehead.
  • The burn was a direct result of the topical application of crushed garlic.
  • This clinical presentation suggests a potential phytophotodermatitis or chemical burn induced by garlic constituents.

Findings:

  • The case report details a specific instance of iatrogenic burn from topical garlic.
  • A review of the literature indicates that garlic-induced burns, though rare, are documented.

  • The mechanism may involve photosensitizing compounds or direct irritant properties of garlic.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential for garlic to cause burns, especially with prolonged or occluded application.
    • Patients should be cautioned against using unverified topical treatments.
    • Further research into the specific compounds in garlic responsible for dermatotoxicity is warranted.
