ABSTRACT

El Aloe vera es un producto ampliamente usado en alimentación y cosmética. Aunque es considerado una planta medicinal por sus múltiples propiedades, no es un producto inocuo, ya que presenta ciertos componentes irritantes que pueden producir efectos secundarios. La dermatitis alérgica de contacto se presenta entre los mismos. Presentamos el caso de un niño de seis años en el que observamos una urticaria tras la aplicación directa del jugo de la planta de Aloe, con buena respuesta al tratamiento convencional de la urticaria. Tras esta revisión bibliográfica, podemos concluir que no puede recomendarse el uso de Aloe vera para el tratamiento de ninguna patología específica debido a que no existe suficiente evidencia de su eficacia en la práctica clínica (AU)


Aloe vera is a widely used product in the food sector and the cosmetics industry. Although it is considered to be a medicinal plant because of its many properties, it is not an innocuous product as it has certain irritating components which can cause side effects. Allergic contact dermatitis is included among them. We present the case of a six-year-old child who shows urticaria after applying the juice of the Aloe plant directly onto the skin. The patient responded successfully to conventional urticaria treatment. After this literature review we can conclude that the use of Aloe vera cannot be recommended for the treatment of any specific pathology since there is not enough evidence to prove the effectiveness in clinical practice (AU)
