Inflammation of the skin causing discomfort such as eczema.
A lesion or inflammation of the skin; many nutritional deficiency diseases include more or less specific skin lesions, but most cases of dermatitis are not associated with nutritional deficiency, and do not respond to nutritional supplements.
Inflammation of the skin that can be seen as a rash, sores, discoloration, eruptions, or ulcers.
A chronic, itchy skin rash in which blisters and/or bumps appear.
A general term referring to skin irritation regardless of cause, dermatology. Red, scaly, itchy skin characterizes dermatitis.
Acute or chronic inflammation of the skin, which becomes red and itchy and may develop blisters or other eruptions. There are many causes, including allergy, disease (e.g., eczema), and infection. Treatment depends on the cause.
Inflammation of the skin; dermatitis is the general term for noninfectious skin rashes. Dermatitis can be due to an allergen or irritant or a genetic predisposition. Symptoms vary from person to person but may include redness, itching, inflammation, blistering, crusting, scabbing, scaling, thickening, and pigment (color) changes.
Inflammation of the skin caused by an outside agent: a condition with many causes. The skin is red and itchy and small blisters may develop. In most cases the condition is associated with certain typical changes in the skin that are described as eczema (eczematous dermatitis). Eczematous dermatitis may result from direct irritation of the skin by a substance (such as a chemical) or it may be an allergic reaction to a particular substance that has been in contact with the skin, injected, or taken by mouth. In cases associated with a different reaction the disorder is described as noneczematous dermatitis. Industrial substances are a common cause of noneczematous dermatitis, which is sometimes called occupational dermatitis. Other types of dermatitis can be caused by soaps or detergents (for example, in diapers) or by sunlight. Treatment of dermatitis depends upon the cause.
Synonymous with eczema in all respects. Although many people think of the latter as due to atopy, there are many other causes. Susceptibility is genetic in some cases; in others environmental irritants and allergens are involved. Symptoms typically include itching, dryness or cracking and occasionally soreness of the skin. Physical signs include redness (erythema), scaling, and vesiculation (tiny blisters just beneath the surface of the skin).
A condition in which an area of skin becomes red, swollen, hot, and itchy.
Skin inflammation, occasionally caused by an allergic reaction, is referred to as dermatitis. It is important to note that dermatitis and eczema are synonymous terms and can be used interchangeably. The following are various types of dermatitis.
This particular condition manifests as a red, scaly, and itchy rash that commonly emerges on the face, especially in the areas of the nose and eyebrows, as well as on the scalp, chest, and back. It often occurs during periods of heightened stress and is believed to be caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. Treatment options may include the use of corticosteroid medications and antimicrobial drugs to combat the microorganisms involved.
Contact dermatitis occurs as a result of a skin reaction to certain substances that come into contact with it. Common triggers include detergents, nickel, specific plants, and cosmetics. Topical corticosteroids are often used in the treatment of this condition. Additionally, a patch test may be conducted to determine the underlying cause of the reaction.
Skin inflammation, commonly known as dermatitis, is not a standalone diagnosis. The term is too broad to pinpoint a specific prognosis or treatment without additional description. Dermatitis can be caused by a range of external irritants, such as excessive sunlight, petroleum and turpentine products, and household chemicals like soap and detergents that remove skin oils. Ingredients found in common items, such as flour, sugar, plants, cement, and fertilizers, can also be irritants, along with various industrial chemicals, insects, and mites. Additionally, dermatitis can be triggered by allergies, certain medications when used in high doses or over an extended period, and even by psychological factors like stress. Treatment is determined based on accurately identifying the underlying cause.
