“…In our patient, however, dermoscopic examination did not reveal any follicular openings in the hairless areas confirming a scarring alopecia. Although the literature is sparse, numerous dermoscopic features have been described in patients with FMF: a white halo around the follicle, comedo-like openings, white structureless areas, dotted/fine linear vessels, and dilatation of follicular openings [ 11 – 15 ]. However, dermoscopic presentations in FMF are heterogeneous, which goes together with the broad clinical spectrum of the disease [ 16 ].…”

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a particular subtype of mycosis fungoides (MF), characterized by an infiltration of neoplastic CD4? T cells in the epidermis which can spread to all follicular structures, sebaceous glands, sweat glands and hair follicles. Clinically, FMF can exhibit various cutaneous symptoms. However, these symptoms often occur on the scalp, face and neck, which are rarely affected by conventional MF. We report cicatricial alopecia in a patient with FMF as alopecia lymphomatica. This peculiar symptom should be kept in mind as a critical differential diagnosis of scarring alopecia, leading to further investigation. Thus, an early diagnosis of FMF may be obtained.

“…Ranunculin is the precursor of protoanemonin, which is known as a toxic substance and considered to be the actual cause of the toxic effect. Ranunculin is transformed to protoanemonin in case of dermal contact [6, 7]. Protoanemonin is a volatile oil with antimycotic and antimicrobial properties and inhibits DNA polymerase by increasing free oxygen radicals.…”

“…However, when the herb gets withered, the irritating effect decreases to minimum because protoanemonin is transformed to anemonin, which is a harmless polymer. If digested in high amounts systemically, the plants from the Ranunculaceae family can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, hypersalivation, burning in the mouth and throat, abdominal cramps, and neurological symptoms [1, 4-6].…”

“…Phytodermatitis can be divided into three subgroups including irritant contact phytodermatitis, allergic contact phytodermatitis, and phytophotodermatitis. Clinically, irritant reactions can lead to urticarial, erythematous, vesiculobullous, and chronic fissures or squamous lesions [6, 8]. We planned to do patch test with the flowers of R. arvensis , but we could not do because the patients did not accept it.…”

Ranunculus arvensis ( R. arvensis ) is a member of the Ranunculaceae family and is often used by advanced age women living in rural areas for the topical treatment of arthralgia, myalgia, hemorrhoid, and warts. Protoanemonin is a substance found in the fresh leaves of the plants from the Ranunculaceae family and leads to contact dermatitis. In this report, we present three cases that developed phytocontact dermatitis caused by the topical use of R. arvensis as an alternative treatment method for arthralgia and palmoplantar psoriasis.

“…Moreover, R. arvensis extracts showed antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activities [49,62]. However, topical use of the plant may cause contact dermatitis, such as skin inflammation, skin burns, and injury of mucous membranes [80][81][82].…”

The genus Ranunculus includes approximately 600 species and is distributed worldwide. To date, several researchers have investigated the chemical and biological activities of Ranunculus species, and my research team has found them to have antimalarial effects. This review is based on the available information on the traditional uses and pharmacological studies of Ranunculus species. The present paper covers online literature, particularly from 2010 to 2021, and books on the ethnopharmacology and botany of Ranunculus species. Previous studies on the biological activity of crude or purified compounds from Ranunculus species, including R. sceleratus Linn., R. japonicus Thunb., R. muricatus Linn., R. ternatus Thunb., R. arvensis Linn., R. diffusus DC., R. sardous Crantz, R. ficaria Linn., R. hyperboreus Rotlb., and R. pedatus Waldst. & Kit., have provided new insights into their activities, such as antibacterial and antiprotozoal effects as well as antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anticarcinogenic properties. In addition, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of plants used in traditional medicine applications have been confirmed. Therefore, there is a need for more diverse studies on the chemical and pharmacological activities of highly purified molecules from Ranunculus species extracts to understand the mechanisms underlying their activities and identify novel drug candidates.
