Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction to a clothing or substance your skin comes in contact with. If your skin touches an irritating chemical or substance, then you have irritant contact dermatitis. If the skin contact causes an allergic reaction, you have allergic contact dermatitis. The treatment options and signs are alike.With contact dermatitis, your skin will become red and tender, and blisters or fluid-filled sacs may form. The skin in the affected areas may ooze and crack. Usually these symptoms are isolated in the areas of contact. The affected areas can cause burning and itching.
The condition is not transferable to others. You may develop the same reaction as someone close to you that came in contact with the same substance, but you did not get contact dermatitis from them. In order to treat the problem, you must first discover the source of the irritant. Try to determine if you have come in contact with any new substances or products in the days leading up to the development of the skin condition. Have you bought new deodorant for your feet or new footwear? Are you cleaning your socks with a new deodorant? Some irritants that are often the cause of rashes are fabric softeners, laundry detergents, soaps, smoke, plants such as poison ivy and poison sumac, nickel and dies. Products that contain nickel are hairpins, frames in glasses, zippers, insecticides, change from money, clasps in jewelry, eyelash curlers and the clasps in undergarments.
Stage two in the discovery and treatment of contact dermatitis is to determine which diction of the body is affected. Foot afflictions may indicate an allergic reaction to a foot antiperspirant, footwear adhesive, foot inserts, foot buckles and leather dye substances. Soaps are often at fault if the hand is affected. If you come in contact with fiberglass, tans or oils, latex gloves, rubber substances and other synthetics, any body part in contact may lead to an irritation.
The next part of the process involves discovering which materials is the source of the contact dermatitis. If you are not sure at this point of the problem source, eliminate all suspected items, and introduce them one product at a time until you discover the cause of the reaction.
Another means of discovering the source of contact dermatitis may be a patch test. In a patch test, a physician exposes your skin to small amounts of the substances likely to cause irritation.
