Contact Dermatitis
What is Contact Dermatitis?
"Dermatitis" means inflammation of the skin. "Contact" dermatitis is a particular type of skin inflammation caused by contact with certain substances found in the environment.
The inflammation appears as redness, swelling, itching and, at times, blistering. In severe cases, the condition may cause considerable discomfort... and, on occasion, can even interfere with a person's ability to work.
