What is dermatitis?
Dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a group of skin conditions characterised by inflammation, itching, redness, and sometimes blistering or oozing of the skin. There are different types of dermatitis, including:
- Atopic dermatitis: A chronic condition that usually begins in childhood and is known for causing itchy, inflamed skin on the face, hands, elbows, and knees.
- Contact dermatitis: This occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or an allergen. Common irritants include soaps, detergents, and certain chemicals and common allergies include pollen, animal dander and dust mites.
- Seborrheic dermatitis: A common condition that causes red, itchy and flaky skin particularly on the scalp and face.
- Nummular dermatitis: This condition causes round, coin-shaped patches of irritated skin on the arms and legs.
- Stasis dermatitis: This typically occurs on the legs and is associated with poor circulation and swelling.
