Contact Dermatitis:
Understanding and
Treating Skin Reactions

Contact dermatitis is a form of skin inflammation that occurs when your skin comes into direct contact with an irritant or allergen, triggering an adverse reaction. This condition typically presents as a red, itchy, or tender rash and, while not contagious or life-threatening, it can cause significant discomfort.
