Abstract
Jellyfish envenomation can cause an immediate local skin reaction, whi ch is usually a painful linear vesiculourticarial eruption. Persistent , delayed, or recurrent dermatitis is less common. Because jellyfish s ting reactions and their management are unfamiliar to family physician s, we describe a case of recurrent local dermatitis after jellyfish en venomation and suggest appropriate treatment.
