Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema characterized by an itchy rash that results from direct contact with a chemical or another substance. This condition develops due to exposure to a skin-irritating substance (irritant) or an allergenic substance. Treatment for contact dermatitis primarily involves identifying the substance causing the symptoms and avoiding contact with it. Various treatment options are also available to alleviate symptoms. While contact dermatitis can affect individuals of all ages, from infants to adults, the risk is higher in certain occupational groups. These high-risk professions include: construction workers, florists, food processors, hairdressers, healthcare providers, cleaners, plumbers, mechanics, and artists.
