<\/span><\/h2>\nBindii is the Australian name for a prickly annual herb. It is a low-growing plant that is widely established in lawns and flower beds. The name is used to refer to various species, particularly Soliva pterosperma<\/em> and Soliva sessilis<\/em>. Other names for bindii are bindi, bindyi, Jo-Jo, bindi-eye and, in New Zealand, Onehunga grass, spiny grass and burrweed.<\/p>\nThe bindii herb originated in South America and has since spread to Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and the southern United States.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Sessilis soliva plant1<\/sup>

<\/span>Who gets bindii dermatitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nBindii dermatitis can affect anyone. However, it most often affects children ages 5 to 18, possibly due to their active lifestyles involving outdoor sports.<\/p>\n
The risk of dermatitis may increase if there is a family history of bindii dermatitis.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What are the clinical features of bindii dermatitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nBindii dermatitis occurs most frequently in late spring and early summer and is less common in winter, when Bindii weeds become dormant.<\/p>\n
The spinal column of the Bindii seed penetrates the skin causing a sharp prick. In the next few days, the skin around the spine becomes inflamed and forms discreet<\/span> Red papules<\/span> with a central puncture site.<\/p>\n\n- Papules occur most frequently on the hands, feet, elbows, and knees; they are rare elsewhere in the body.<\/li>\n
- Papules can develop scaly<\/span> or occasionally pustular<\/span>.<\/li>\n
- They can cause itching, tenderness, or stinging.<\/li>\n
- They can persist for several months.<\/li>\n
- Bindii dermatitis may come back; tolerance does not seem to occur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The severity of dermatitis depends on:<\/p>\n
\n- The number and species of bindii seeds.<\/li>\n
- The thickness of the injured skin.<\/li>\n
- If the affected skin is already damaged (eg, By atopic<\/span> eczema<\/span>)<\/li>\n
- High or low ambient temperature<\/li>\n
- High or low humidity<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some patients may develop an immediate bump<\/span> reaction when punctured with the bindii herb; This can be resolved without progressing to dermatitis.<\/p>\n<\/span>How is bindii dermatitis diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nBindii dermatitis is a clinical diagnosis made through a complete medical history and examination of the patient. There are no specific tests.<\/p>\n
the histology<\/span> of a skin biopsy<\/span> of bindii shows dermatitis spongiosis<\/span>, mixed dermal<\/span> infiltrate<\/span>and foreign body giant cells<\/span>. May have marked edema<\/span> of the papilla dermis<\/span> and sinus drainage. Evidence of plant material may also be present.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What is the treatment of bindii dermatitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nVisible bindii seeds or 'thorns' must be removed manually. <\/p>\n
Bindii dermatitis does not always respond to current<\/span> or systemic<\/span> Corticosteroids Fortunately, it is self-limiting.<\/p>\n<\/span>How is bindii dermatitis prevented?<\/span><\/h2>\nBindii dermatitis can be prevented by avoiding contact with the Bindii herb.<\/p>\n
\n- Cover your skin during outdoor activities (particularly your hands, feet, elbows, and knees).<\/li>\n
- Remove bindii patches from grassy areas, either manually or by applying a suitable herbicide in the spring.<\/li>\n
- Discourage reappearance<\/span> of weeds by aerating the soil (making small holes in the grass surface to allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
