Typical Symptoms of Contact Dermatitis

- Rashes in an area exposed to plants, metals, clothing, rubber or medications
- Known food allergy
- Difficulty breathing after contact with possible allergens
- Itchy skin that gets worse at night
- Redness or bumps on the skin, that occur or worsen with cosmetics

Diagnostic Questions for Contact Dermatitis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have itchy skin?
- Did your skin have any reactions to plants, metals, clothing, rubber, or chemicals?
- Have you ever had food allergies?
- Do you have difficulty breathing after contact with possible allergens?
- Does your skin get itchier at night?
Treatment of Contact Dermatitis
The first step is identifying and avoiding the cause, such as jewelry or shampoo. Avoid harsh soaps and detergents, and wear gloves if necessary. Moisturizers and steroid creams can help with healing.
