What is Contact Dermatitis?

Have you noticed a rash after touching certain products or materials? Contact Dermatitis is an allergic skin condition that should be evaluated by an Allergy & Immunology provider.
Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction that develops when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen. It can cause redness, itching, burning, dryness, or blistering in the affected area.

Common Symptoms

• Red rash
• Itching or burning
• Dry, cracked skin
• Swelling
• Blisters in some cases
• Skin irritation limited to the contact area

When to see an Allergy & Immunology provider

You should see a specialist if the rash keeps returning, is painful, spreads, becomes infected, or you are unsure what is causing it.

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications.
