Skin inflammation is known medically as dermatitis, and it can take many different forms and be brought on by a variety of factors. Dermatitis is not contagious, and symptoms include dry, itchy skin that is red and swollen, blisters, ooze, crusts, and scales that come off. Some types of dermatitis are chronic, while others may flare up intermittently depending on the season, environmental factors, and stress.
Although various types of skin rashes are collectively referred to as “dermatitis,” the most prevalent types are
Atopic Dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis.
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, typically first manifests in childhood and is a chronic inherited condition.
The severity and cause of the condition determine the symptoms and signs of contact dermatitis, which is a term used to describe an allergic reaction that happens when certain substances come into contact with the skin.
Types of dermititis
Atopic dermatitis: most frequently affects folds of skin like the inner side of the elbows, behind the knees, and on the neck. It is typically chronic, inherited, and manifests during infancy.
Contact dermatitis:It typically manifests as rashes that may burn, sting, itch, or blister when the skin is exposed to a substance that triggers an allergic reaction.
Especially on the palms and soles, dyshidrotic dermatitis manifests as dry, itchy skin with small blisters.
Seborrheic dermatitisIt is a chronic condition with remissions that typically affects the face, chest, and neck and most frequently manifests as dandruff on the scalp.
Exfoliative Dermatitis: the entire body’s skin turns red and scaly, and some hair loss may occur.
Dermatitis HerpetiformisThis condition manifests as symmetrical, group-appearing erythematous eruptions that are extremely itchy.
Neuro-dermatitis:is manifested as skin itchiness brought on by stress or irritants.
Nummular dermatitisFollowing a skin injury, it manifests as sores.
Stasis dermatitis: it affects skin regions where blood flow is irregular.
