The types of Dermatitis Include:

• Contact Dermatitis these include allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis. With contact dermatitis, you will see a pink or red itchy rash and it is often difficult to diagnose.
• Allergic Contact Dermatitis is caused when something you are allergic to touches your skin, an example is poison ivy. Some examples of things that can cause allergic contact dermatitis include flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, skin care products, fragrances, hair dyes, rubber (as in rubber gloves), and formaldehyde (used as a preservative in some products).
• Irritant Contact Dermatitis can be caused by repeated contact with a harsh substance which further aggravates the skin. The most common cause of irritant contact dermatitis is repeated over-washing of the hands, where water is the irritant that causes the skin to dry out and get damaged.
