Seabather's eruption (SBE) is an acute dermatitis caused contact due to with the scyphomedusae Linuche unguiculata, and L. aquila and, rarely, the sea anemone Edwardsiella lineata.t is manifested by erythematous and itchy papules located often in areas covered by bathing suits during or immediately after exposure to sea water. We report two cases of SBE mimicking Koebner Phenomenon (KP) as envenomations caused by the hydromedusa Olindias sambaquiensis and the scyphomedusa Chrysaora lactea, some of the most common jellyfish species in S and SE Brazil.
