What is Contact Dermatitis?
Causes of Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is an allergic reaction that happens when people come in contact with substances like chemicals, cosmetics, microbes and dust particles. This happens due to sensitivity towards certain allergen or substance leading to skin irritation or discomfort. It can happen when the skin shows sensitivity towards battery acid, drain cleaner, detergent, plants, fertilizers or even pesticides. People who get more exposed to detergents such as healthcare workers, metal workers, gardeners or agricultural workers, auto mechanics, construction workers, hairdressers and cleaners often experience such skin allergies on their exposed areas.
Those who are constantly dealing with harsh chemicals also have tendency to incur this problem. Photo contact dermatitis is a rare occurrence where some skin products react upon sun exposure and can result in skin rashes, irritation, redness and swelling.
