Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a form of eczema that occurs when the skin comes into contact with a specific irritant or allergen. Eczema refers to a range of conditions that lead to dry and irritated skin. Typically, contact dermatitis can improve or resolve entirely once the offending substance is identified and avoided. There are also treatments available to alleviate the symptoms. This condition can result in the skin becoming itchy, blistered, dry, and cracked.
When to seek medical help
If you're experiencing bothersome contact dermatitis, it's a good idea to consult a pharmacist. They can suggest treatments like emollients (moisturisers) that you apply to your skin to help prevent dryness. Locate a pharmacy near you.
