Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is a condition resulting from contact with irritants causing a reaction on the skin (dermatitis). The reaction can last for days or even weeks.

Contact dermatitis can be triggered by many different irritants, the common ones are: metals, plants and artificial chemicals used in skin products and cleaning products. Some irritants may have no effect on the skin until directly exposed to the sunlight, many mainstream sun creams have been known to cause contact dermatitis through a reaction occurring when the skin is exposed to the sun.

You may not instantly react to the irritant, but repeated exposure to these irritants can increase your sensitivity over time, causing contact dermatitis several years later. This has seen a trend in women over the age of 30 suddenly being unable to continue using their regular cosmetics due to irritations developing.

Symptoms usually include large itchy, red sore patches, blisters, burning and hives.
