Eczema-Like Psoriasiform Skin Reaction Related to Brazilian Keratin Treatment

The document discusses a case of eczema-like psoriasiform skin reaction associated with the Brazilian keratin treatment (BKT), a popular hair-straightening procedure. BKT involves applying a keratin-based product to the hair and sealing it with heat. Although it is widely used for smoothing and straightening curly or frizzy hair, there are potential adverse skin reactions, as highlighted by this case. The treatment originated in Brazil in 2003 and has since gained global popularity, including in the USA and Latin America.
