What is "contact dermatitis"?
Contact dermatitis is a skin condition that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen, leading to inflammation and a rash. It can cause symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, and sometimes blisters or oozing of the skin. Contact dermatitis can be caused by a wide range of substances, including soaps, cosmetics, jewelry, plants, such as poison ivy, chemicals, and certain fabrics. Treatment involves avoiding the irritant or allergen whenever possible and using creams or ointments to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, oral medications may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and itching.
