Contact Dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis
A red, itchy rash caused by direct contact with a substance that either irritates the skin or triggers an allergic reaction.
Contact dermatitis presents as localized eczematous reaction at the site of allergen or irritant exposure. Avoidance of the trigger is primary; topical corticosteroids reduce inflammation. Patch testing helps identify specific allergens for allergic contact dermatitis.
