Abstract

We report a 73-year-old male patient with progressive chemical burn on his lower extremities following topical application of a mixture of the oils derived from Rosmarinus officinalis, Brassica nigra alba and Laurus nobilis. It should be kept in mind that herbal medicines which seem harmless can sometimes be dangerous and life-threatening, especially in elderly and diabetic patients.

Vernacular Abstract

Nous rapportons un patient de 73 ans atteint d’une brûlure chimique sur ses membres inférieurs causée par une application topique d’un mélange d’huiles provenantes de Rosmarinus officinalis, Brassica nigra alba et Laurus nobilis. Il faut garder à l’esprit que les médicaments à base de plantes qui semble innocents pourraient parfois être dangereux et potentiellement mortels, en particulier chez les patients âgés et diabétiques.
