Lime Juice + Sun Can Cause Skin Rashes
When human skin is exposed to ultraviolet light and certain natural plant-derived substances, a skin condition called “phytophotodermatitis” can occur. This condition is frequently reported after skin exposure to the combination of sunlight and lime juice, and can include skin rashes, blistering, and dark pigmentation. Although it may be painful, phytophotodermatitis generally resolves on its own over time.
