What Is Dermatitis?

Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin. When someone contracts dermatitis, it may be an indication of some other ailment. In the early stages of dermatitis, you typically see red, dry, and itchy skin in the affected area. 

A more serious dermatitis could result in crusty scales or blisters that ooze fluid in the affected area.

Since many things can irritate the skin, we try to identify the specific category of dermatitis for each patient. Treatments for dermatitis are similar for most types of skin irritation and inflammation.

 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.

 How is it treated?

There are many over-the-counter products, such as anti-dandruff shampoos, which can often help prevent and get rid of the symptoms of dandruff. If you choose this route to treat your dandruff condition, we recommend that you shampoo daily to prevent a build-up of dead skin cells on your scalp.

When using these shampoos, make sure to rub your scalp thoroughly with several applications per wash. This will help dislodge excess cells. Be careful not to rub so energetically that you damage your scalp.

If this does not solve your dandruff situation there may be other underlying conditions that need to be explored. CALL US!

Dr. Jason Roddick was very Thoreau when he explained the difference between melanoma and moles. He showed us pictures so that we had a clear understanding of what to look for.
