Seabather's eruption is characterized by the occurrence of intensely itchy erythematous papules observed mainly in the region covered by swimwear. The dermatitis occurs due to the contact of planula larvae of scyphomedusae Linuche unguiculata with the skin. The swimsuit pressure triggers the action of the poisonous stinging structures carried by the larvae. The case described occurred in a child who, while bathing in the ocean waters of the Northeast coast of Bessa's Beach located in the city of Joao Pessoa, state of Paraiba, showed typical clinical signs of the disease. It was concluded that the report of the case showed clinical and therapeutic implications for doctors working in all of the Brazilian coastal areas.
海泳者皮疹的特征是主要在泳衣覆盖区域出现强烈瘙痒的红斑丘疹。这种皮炎是由于僧帽水母Linuche unguiculata的浮浪幼虫与皮肤接触所致。泳衣的压力触发了幼虫携带的有毒刺蛰结构的作用。所描述的病例发生在一名儿童身上，该儿童在帕拉伊巴州若昂佩索阿市贝萨海滩东北海岸的海水中沐浴时，出现了该病的典型临床症状。得出的结论是，该病例报告对在巴西所有沿海地区工作的医生具有临床和治疗意义。
