skin irritation

Skin irritation occurs when the outer layer of the skin reacts negatively to a substance or environment, leading to redness, itching, or discomfort. This can result from things like allergies, harsh soaps, fabrics, or exposure to irritants. The skin's protective barrier becomes inflamed, causing sensations of burning or stinging. Irritation is usually temporary and can be managed by avoiding the irritant, using gentle skin care, and keeping the area clean and moisturized. If symptoms worsen or persist, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to identify and treat the underlying cause.
