Dermatitis 101
Have you ever experienced the feeling when your skin is irritated, itchy, and just plain uncomfortable? That's what we call dermatitis. It's a fancy term for skin inflammation and it's not a fun experience. Some common symptoms are redness, itching, burning, and dry, scaly skin. Sometimes, it can even cause blisters or rashes.
The thing is, dermatitis can happen to anyone, of any age. But the good news is, there are ways to treat it depending on what's causing it. By paying attention to our skin and taking action when we notice inflammation, we can help keep our skin healthy and prevent more serious problems from developing. That way, we can avoid the discomfort of dermatitis and have happy, healthy skin.
The Causes
If you're itching, irritated and burning and you're not sure what's causing it? Here are a list of things to look out for:
- Allergies: Some people may have an allergic reaction to certain things, like chemicals, fragrances, metals or even medications.
- Irritants: Things like soap, detergent, solvents, or even being in water for too long can cause skin irritation.
- Infections: Bacteria, fungi, or viruses can also cause dermatitis.
- Underlying medical conditions: Medical conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or thyroid problems can cause dermatitis.
- Other factors: Stress, hormonal changes, or even exposure to extreme temperatures can also cause dermatitis.
It's important to know that everyone's skin is different, so what causes dermatitis for one person may not be the same for another. But by understanding your own specific triggers, you'll be better equipped to prevent future flare-ups.
