Dermatitis

Dermatitis is a general term for inflammation of the skin, often resulting in redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes blisters or flaking. It can be caused by various factors, including allergies, irritants, and certain medical conditions. Common types include eczema, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment typically involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using topical creams, and maintaining skin hydration. While dermatitis can be uncomfortable, it is usually manageable with proper care. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is recommended.
