Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin. Contact dermatitis is a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with a foreign substance or an allergen. Common causes are plants, cosmetics, detergents, chemicals, medications, solvents, and adhesives.

Redness, itching, weeping, swelling, recurrence of symptoms with re-exposure.

A history and physical exam will be performed. Generally no tests are needed. In severe or ambiguous cases allergy testing or a skin biopsy is performed.

Treatment consists of removing the irritant and cleansing the skin. Topical steroids are used for mild cases, and systemic steroids for more severe reactions. Wet occlusive dressings are recommended for dry rashes and dry dressings for moist rashes.
