Contact dermatitis is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin reacts to irritants or allergens. It often presents as redness, itching, swelling, or small blisters, typically appearing in areas exposed to substances such as soaps, detergents, cosmetics, metals, or plants.
There are two main types: irritant contact dermatitis, caused by direct damage to the skin from chemicals or friction, and allergic contact dermatitis, triggered by an immune response to specific allergens. While symptoms can be uncomfortable, early recognition and proper care help prevent complications and promote healing.
Avoiding the triggering substance is the first step in managing contact dermatitis. Over-the-counter creams may provide temporary relief, but persistent or severe cases require evaluation by a qualified dermatologist. Professional care ensures accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and guidance on preventing future reactions.
