What is Dermatitis
Dermatitis is a general term for inflammation of the skin. It can cause redness, itching, dryness, soreness, and sometimes swelling or cracking of the skin. Common types include contact dermatitis, irritant dermatitis, and flare-ups of eczema.
Symptoms often come and go and may be triggered by soaps, detergents, chemicals, stress, weather changes, or skin sensitivity. While dermatitis isn’t contagious, it can be uncomfortable and disruptive, especially during flare-ups.
Managing dermatitis focuses on calming inflammation, allowing the skin to heal, and reducing the impact of triggers. Our service provides professional assessment and access to appropriate treatment to help bring flare-ups under control.
