	'''Phytophotodermatitis''', also known as berloque dermatitis or margarita photodermatitis, is a phototoxic inflammatory reaction of the skin. This condition occurs due to contact with certain plant substances followed by exposure to ultraviolet light, typically from the sun.

	==Definition and Mechanism==		==Definition and Mechanism==

	Phytophotodermatitis is caused by skin contact with photosensitizing compounds found in some plants and then exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. The primary photosensitizing agents are furocoumarins, present in plants like limes, celery, and parsley.
