Phytophotodermatitis, or "strimmer rash," is an uncommon occupational skin condition. This study details an outbreak in grounds operatives, covering its identification, cause, and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Occupational dermatoses represent a substantial cause of work-related illness.
  • Phytophotodermatitis is an uncommon occupational dermatosis that warrants consideration in differential diagnoses.

Observation:

  • An outbreak of 'strimmer rash' affected three grounds operatives.
  • The rash was characterized by specific clinical presentations.

Findings:

  • The condition was identified as phytophotodermatitis, caused by plant-induced photosensitivity.
  • The aetiology linked to specific plant species encountered during grounds maintenance was investigated.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of recognizing phytophotodermatitis in occupational settings.
