Contact dermatitis occurs when you encounter something that causes you to have an allergic reaction. A red, itchy rash develops. Substances such as cosmetics, soaps, jewelry, plants, and certain fragrances can all cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. The rash is not contagious and usually disappears within two to four weeks.
The first step in successfully treating contact dermatitis is to identify the allergen or irritant causing the rash. There are multiple ways to ease the itchy, red and irritated skin quickly and effectively. Please contact us to learn more about contact dermatitis.
