Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a skin disease that occurs when the skin interacts with an agent that causes inflammation and skin rash.
The symptoms of contact dermatitis include rash, itching, erythema, vesicles, dry skin, and skin cracking.
It can significantly impact a person’s quality of life by causing discomfort, pain, and itching.
This condition can restrict the performance of daily tasks and may cause sleep disorders and emotional problems because of the visibility of the condition and constant pain.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Allergic contact dermatitis is a type of contact dermatitis that occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance to which the skin has developed an allergic reaction. This is different from the irritant contact dermatitis in that this condition involves the immune system which reacts to allergens such as metals, fragrances or plants that cause inflammation and discomfort.

- Nickel (in jewelry, buckles, etc.)
- Fragrances
- Preservatives like formaldehyde
