Dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis occurs mostly in two forms: allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis. These conditions are all related to items that encounter your skin from outside exposure source. These are not related to ingesting certain foods or having seasonal allergies.
Allergic contact dermatitis is related to allergens that you may come into contact with that your body tolerate well, and causes it to respond with an immunologic reaction as the bodys way of ridding the antagonist. It typically presents with blistering, but also may be as subtle as a dry skin rash.
Irritant contact dermatitis is created from exposure to products that create an irritation to the skin, such as chemicals. Anyone with enough exposure to these products will typically form a rash. It typically presents as inflamed, dry, rough and cracked skin, but can also be as distinct as bright red patches to the more severe chemicals.
The most commonly used treatment for both conditions is to eliminate the causative agent, which can often times eliminate the condition. Skin testing for allergens can be performed for the more difficult cases. Topical and oral medicines are the most common forms of treatment.
Hand Dermatitis
Hand dermatitis, or hand eczema, is an inflammatory skin condition affecting the hands, causing symptoms like dryness, redness, itching, cracking, and blistering.
It is triggered by various factors, including irritants, allergens, genetics, and excessive washing, and can be acute or chronic.
The condition is not contagious, but its symptoms can significantly impact daily life and professional activities
