The cause of contact dermatitis is direct contact with some substances like irritants; chemicals, rubber or latex, metals, such as nickel and jewelry and, allergens or both ingredients, in soaps, detergents and some cosmetics. Others, when the skin is exposed to sunlight (photocontact dermatitis) with shaving lotion, some sunscreens, perfumes. Also, airborne substances in pollen, ragweed, and insecticide spray.

An irritant might take a longer exposure time to cause contact dermatitis, contrary to the allergen. When to call? As soon as there is a skin irritation. See a doctor when there is skin eruption and or painfully itching or infected area.

Signs and symptoms of contact dermatitis include:

• Red rash or bumps
• Itching, which may be severe
• Dry, red patches, which may resemble a burn
• Blisters and draining fluid from the involved skin in severe cases
• Skin rash limited to the exposed area
• Pain or tenderness

In contact dermatitis, only the areas of skin exposed to the offending substances react. The area with the greatest exposure reacts most severely.
