CONTACT: Contact dermatitis is of two
types:

 Allergic: Resulting from a delayed

reaction to an allergen, such as poison
ivy, nickel, or balsam of peru .

 Irritant: Resulting from direct reaction

to a detergent, such as sodium lauryl
sulphate, for example.

• SEBORRHEIC: Is a condition sometimes

classified as a form of eczema that is closely
related to dandruff. It causes a thick, yellow,
crusty scalp rash called cradle cap, which seems
related to lack of biotin and is often curable.
  Age: Dermatitis can occur at any age, but atopic
dermatitis (eczema) usually begins in infancy.

 Occupation: Jobs that put you in contact with

certain metals, solvents or cleaning supplies
increase your risk of contact dermatitis. Being a
health care worker is linked to hand eczema.

 Health conditions: You may be at increased

risk of seborrheic dermatitis if you have one of
a number of conditions, such as congestive heart
failure, Parkinson's disease and HIV.

 Complications: Scratching the itchy rash

associated with dermatitis can cause open sores,
which may become infected. These skin
infections can spread and may very rarely
become life-threatening.

 Avoiding dry skin may be one factor in helping

you prevent dermatitis. These tips can help you
minimize the drying effects of bathing on your
skin:

Dry yourself carefully. After bathing, brush your

skin rapidly with the palms of your hands, or gently
pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Moisturize your skin. While your skin is still

damp, seal in moisture with an oil or a cream. Try
different products to find one that works for you.
Ideally, the best one for you will be safe, effective,
affordable and unscented.

• There is no known cure for some types of

dermatitis, with treatment aiming to control
symptoms by reducing inflammation and
relieving itching. Contact dermatitis is treated
by avoiding what is causing it.

recommended, usually for five to ten minutes in

• Moisturizers: Low-quality evidence indicates
that moisturizing agents may reduce eczema
severity and lead to fewer flares. Products that
contain dyes, perfumes, or peanuts should not be
used.

• Medications: There is little evidence

for antihistamine; they are thus not generally
recommended. Sedative antihistamines, such
as diphenhydramine, may be tried in those who
are unable to sleep due to eczema. Topical
immunosuppresants like pimecrolimus and
tacrolimus may be better in the short term and
appear equal to steroids after a year of use. Their
use is reasonable in those who do not respond to
or are not tolerant of steroids.
