Abstract

Garlic is a healthy vegetable usually used as a food flavor and also as a traditional medicine. Besides its health benefits, if used uncontrollably and unconsciously, it can cause serious side effects. Local chemical burn is one of its unwanted reactions. But with appropriate and timely treatment, complete recovery can be obtained. İn this case report, we discuss a chemical garlic burn of a female patient after the local application of raw garlic on her left knee.

Özet

Sarımsak, genellikle yemeklerde lezzet verici ve aynı zamanda geleneksel bir ilaç olarak kullanılan sağlıklı bir sebzedir. Kontrolsüz ve bilinçsizce kullanılırsa sağlığa yararlarının yanında ciddi yan etkilere neden olabilir. Lokal kimyasal yanık istenmeyen reaksiyonlarından biridir. Ancak uygun ve zamanında tedavi ile tam iyileşme sağlanabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, sol dizine çiğ sarımsak uyguladıktan sonra yanık oluşan bir kadın hastayı tartışıyoruz.
