Do NOT, under any circumstances make 2 HUGE bowls of salsa with
obsecene amounts of fresh squeezed lime juice and then go out in the sun for hours on end.
Even though I thoroughly washed my hands, and did a ton of dishes,
the lemon juice and acid from the peel still remained.
Fast forward 24 hours when I noticed a very large red mark on my left hand, and one on my right thumb.
Fast forward another 12 to throbbing pain and blistering, brusied skin.
On Tuesday, I visited the dermatologist who diagonsed it as phytophotodermatitis...
A reaction or lime juice and UV rays. In other words... an acid burn. JOY.
My hands looks AWFUL, and they just keep getting worse.
I'm noticing more burn spots every day.
See for yourself!
Day 1: when I thought it was just hives
Day 3: CLearly not hives
Right thumb... An entirely different color than the rest of my hand
healing.
