Q

Contact dermatits

Management

A

Identify and Avoid the Trigger
The first step in treating contact dermatitis is to identify and avoid the substance that is causing the skin reaction.

Common triggers include:
* Soaps, detergents, or chemicals
* Latex
* Metals like nickel
* Certain plants like poison ivy
* Cosmetics or fragrances
* Avoiding further exposure to the trigger is crucial for clearing up the skin rash.

Manage Symptoms
To help relieve the symptoms of contact dermatitis, the treatment plan may include:
* Topical Corticosteroids: Applying a low-to-medium potency topical steroid cream or ointment can help reduce inflammation, itching, and swelling. Use as directed by your doctor.
* Oral Antihistamines: Taking an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or loratadine can help relieve itching.
* Cool Compresses: Applying cool, wet compresses to the affected area can soothe the skin and relieve discomfort.
* Oatmeal Baths: Soaking in an oatmeal bath can help relieve itching and dryness.
* Moisturizers: Using fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers can help hydrate the skin and prevent further irritation.

Manage Secondary Infections
If the skin becomes infected, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic cream or oral antibiotic medication.

See a Dermatologist if Symptoms Persist
