Contact Dermatitis
Treat and Prevent Skin Reactions from Irritants and Allergens
What is Contact Dermatitis?
Contact dermatitis is a skin inflammation that occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with an irritant or allergen. It typically causes red, itchy, and sometimes blistered or cracked skin. The condition can affect any part of the body but is most common on the hands, face, neck, or areas exposed to chemicals, soaps, metals, or cosmetics.
