What is Dermatitis?

When the skin is red, itchy, inflamed and irritated, the victim is said to be suffering from dermatitis.

Although dermatitis is sometimes considered to be eczema, this is not wholly true. In actuality, any rash, including psoriasis and seborrhea, can be called dermatitis. However, most doctors don't label every rash dermatitis.

Dermatitis can manifest itself a number of ways, appearing scaly, crusty, clustered or in raised blisters. It is best treated after a medical professional has properly diagnosed it however, as only then can you know the proper course to take to get rid of the rash.

While it could be tempting to dismiss a rash as no big deal, some rashes, especially chronic ones, can be the hallmark of a very serious disease. It is always best to make sure there is nothing to worry about before ignoring chronic dermatitis outbreaks.

What are the symptoms of dermatitis?

The primary symptom of dermatitis is itching. The itching may be chronic or come and go, but either way it can be maddening. Dermatitis can be a self perpetuating problem as well, as the more it itches, the more you scratch and the more your scratch, the worse it becomes. As in cases of atopic dermatitis, the condition can worsen, causing swelling, cracking, weeping, scaling and crusting of the skin.

Doctors may prescribe creams with steroid, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal ingredients in them. The type of treatment prescribe will often depend on the type of rash it is, as well as the rash's causation.

What are the causes of dermatitis?

Many things can cause dermatitis to flare up, but chief among them are:

ý A reaction to allergens or foreign antibodies
ý Contact with irritants, chemical and detergents
ý Flare up of atopic dermatitis, which is accompanied by asthma, hay fever or asthma.
ý A baby's prolonged exposure to a wet diaper or nappy
ý Fungal infections
ý Long term scratching of a thickened area of skin

The good news is, most bouts of dermatitis, including Atopic, cannot be spread casually. There is also some indication that there is a genetic or hereditary disposition for dermatitis. People who fall ill, or allow themselves to get run down can get dermatitis. Contact dermatitis can occur when touching things like poison ivy, or certain chemicals that induce a rash. It can also be effectively treated but is not preventable.
