Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Allergic contact dermatitis is a type of skin inflammation that occurs when an allergen touches the skin. It is caused by an immune response to a substance that the body perceives as harmful, such as certain chemicals and detergents. Symptoms of allergic contact dermatitis may include redness, rash, and itchiness, and can range from mild to severe. Treatment typically involves avoiding contact with the allergen and using medications to reduce symptoms. Allergic contact dermatitis is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, and avoiding contact with allergens may be the best way to prevent it.
