Skin Conditions We Treat
Contact Dermatitis & Allergic Skin Disease
Contact dermatitis is a condition in which the skin becomes red, itchy, or inflamed after direct contact with an allergen or an irritant.
Irritant dermatitis is the most common type. It can be caused by contact with water (frequent wetting and drying of the skin), acids, soaps and detergents, fabric softeners, solvents, or other chemicals. The reaction most often looks red, dry, and can be itchy. It is not caused by an allergy, but rather the skin’s reaction to an irritating substance.
Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when your skin comes in contact with something you are allergic to and results in a red, itchy, sometimes weeping rash. Examples of common contact allergens include nickel and poison oak. If you think you have an irritant or allergic contact dermatitis or are worried about a rash, please call us at 360-254-5267 to schedule a consultation.
