DERMATITIS (INFLAMMATION OF SKIN)

Dermatitis differs from person to person and there are various types making it difficult to treat without specialist consultation. Types of dermatitis include atopic and contact dermatitis, dermatitis herpetiformis, seborrheic, nummular, stasis and perioral dermatitis. Sufferers of dermatitis generally suffer with skin redness, irritation, inflammation, lesions and sometimes scaring and skin oozing. The key to curing dermatitis is to eliminate the triggers that are causing the flare-ups but this can be a tedious task. Sufferers can gain relief from products that have anti-irritation and anti-inflammatory properties. One of the most important aspects of dealing with dermatitis is keeping skin hydrated and moisturised which can stop skin from cracking, reduce dryness and irritation. It’s very important to consider that environmental conditions, household chemicals and skincare products can have adverse effects on the skin resulting in infections and allergic reactions.
