Contact Dermatitis
By John Russell
Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin. Any number of things can cause a skin irritation and
sometimes the precise diagnosis is of less interest to the suffering party than the remedy. Poison Ivy
and Eczema are types of contact dermatitis.
Contact dermatitis is an allergy to something that touches the skin. Most cases involve a rash that can
include itchy, red blisters, which can ooze and then develop a crust. In most cases the rash will
disappear when the allergen is removed, though sometimes if the allergen has been in contact with the
skin for a while, the rash may continue for days or weeks after the allergen is removed.
The only way to cure a case of contact dermatitis is to remove the source of the allergen. In many
cases, you know exactly what caused the problem. Sometimes a new cosmetic or deodorant can
cause a reaction and when you stop using the substance, the reaction disappears.
Listed below are body parts and common allergenic substances that can affect them.
Scalp - Often the rash will appear on the eyelids, neck, face, and ears and sometimes, especially when
a substance was applied to the hair, on the hands. Sources are most commonly shampoos, hair dyes
and rinses, permanent-wave treatments, dandruff treatments, soaps, bathing caps, wigs, combs, and
brushes made of materials that are irritating, curlers, and pins used in hair styling.
Forehead - Most commonly seen as a rash spreading across the forehead. Sources are a hat band or
hat linings, visors, helmets
