What is Dermatitis?
Dermatitis refers to the inflammation of the skin, which can result in redness, itching, swelling, and sometimes the formation of blisters or dry, scaly patches. It is typically caused by exposure to irritants, allergens, or certain triggers that can vary from person to person. Dermatitis can be classified into different types, such as contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), or seborrheic dermatitis, each with its own specific characteristics and causes. Treatment for dermatitis involves avoiding triggers, practicing good skincare habits, and using medications or topical treatments to relieve symptoms and reduce inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of dermatitis.
