Understanding Dermatitis:
Dermatitis, also known as eczema, is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, itching, dryness, and sometimes the formation of small blisters. It can affect people of all ages, from infants to adults, and may occur on various parts of the body. Dermatitis can be chronic or acute, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.
Types of Dermatitis:
Atopic Dermatitis:
This is the most common form of dermatitis, often seen in people with a family history of allergies, asthma, or atopic conditions. It tends to occur in childhood and may persist into adulthood.
Contact Dermatitis:
Contact dermatitis is caused by direct contact with irritants or allergens. It can be divided into two subtypes: a. Irritant Contact Dermatitis: Caused by exposure to irritants like chemicals, detergents, or solvents.
Seborrheic Dermatitis:
 This form of dermatitis primarily affects areas with a high density of oil glands, such as the scalp, face, and upper chest. It is often associated with excessive oil production and yeast overgrowth.
Nummular Dermatitis:
Nummular dermatitis appears as circular or coin-shaped patches of irritated skin that can be itchy or scaly. It is more common in drier climates and during the winter months.
Treatment Approaches:
Prescription or over-the-counter creams, ointments, or lotions containing corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, or other anti-inflammatory agents can help reduce inflammation, itching, and redness.
Regularly applying moisturizers and emollients can help restore and maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier, reducing dryness and preventing flare-ups.
 Identifying and avoiding triggers, such as specific irritants, allergens, or environmental factors, is crucial in managing dermatitis. Our team will guide you in understanding potential triggers and provide lifestyle recommendations to minimize exposure.
For acute or severe cases, wet dressings or bandages soaked in medicated solutions may be recommended to help soothe and heal the affected areas.
