What is it?
Irritant contact dermatitis is a skin reaction caused by repeated exposure to substances that damage the skin barrier. In children, it commonly occurs due to saliva, urine, stool, soaps, detergents, wipes, sweat, or friction from clothing. The skin appears red, dry, rough, or cracked and may feel sore or itchy. Unlike allergies, this reaction does not involve the immune system.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management focuses on removing the irritant, repairing the skin barrier, and calming inflammation. The dermatologist evaluates the rash pattern and identifies likely irritants from daily routines. Treatment includes barrier-repair creams, soothing topical medications when required, and clear guidance on gentle skin care practices to prevent repeated irritation.
