The term “dermatitis” is used to refer to a wide variety of skin irritations as well as rashes that can be brought on by anything from heredity to an overactive immune system. It could be also caused by an infection, an allergy, or an irritant. Dryness, redness, and itching are typical symptoms.

Dermatitis has several causes, including genetic predisposition, environmental aggravators, and immune system activation.

• Defense mechanism
• Genetics
• Environment
• Exposure

Depending on the form of dermatitis, the symptoms will vary. One or more types might be observed in some patients. The following symptoms may or may not be present, depending on the type.

• Itching.
• Itchy, red bumps and rashes.
• Rash that has a burning sensation or appearance.
• Dry skin.
• Blisters filled with fluid.
• Skin that has thickened, hardened, and swollen.
• Skin that is crusty, flaky, and wrinkled.
• Sore, aching ulcers.

• The first step in preventing dermatitis is raising awareness. Avoiding allergens or rash-inducing chemicals is the only approach to stop an allergic response.
• However, avoiding flare-ups is crucial if you suffer from eczema, which is not always avoidable.
• Scratching might cause an outbreak, so restrain yourself if you want to avoid discomfort. Scratching can cause infection by opening or reopening wounds and allowing germs to spread. ¹
• Shorter baths, gentle soaps, and warm water rather than hot water can all help avoid dry skin.
• In addition, many people experience relief when they moisturize regularly.
