Types of Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is divided into 2 types:-
1. Irritant Contact Dermatitis
It is the most common type of Dermatitis. When irritants like certain solvents, soap, shampoo, etc. come in contact with skin they erode the protective layer of skin and result in itching and rashes. This may happen either by single exposure or by multiple exposures based on the sensitivity of people.
2. Allergic Contact Dermatitis
When allergens like certain metals, medicines, food, etc. activate the immune system, it will result in allergic reactions manifested on the skin. In case of direct contact with skin, only that particular area will be affected. Once, there developed an allergy towards any substance, even a small amount of that will cause an allergic response. In children, allergy is manifested on contact with diapers, wet tissue, lotions, etc.
