ABSTRACT
Coral is a member of the class Anthozoa, which cause injury due to stings from their tentacles containing nematocytes or from their sharp-edged calcified outer skeletons. Sting from their nematocytes may cause coral poisoning and cause a rare type of contact dermatitis. A 24-year-old woman, who had been contacted to coral during skin-scuba diving in the Philippines 7 days before, was presented with multiple brownish plaques and patches with small vesicles on the dorsum of the left hand. Herein, we report a case of contact dermatitis to coral by the nematocyst stings of corals.
