Allergic Dermatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Allergic dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin that appears when the immune system reacts excessively to contact with a substance or to an environmental allergen. It usually shows up in exposed areas and can be recurrent.
Common symptoms: redness, itching, dryness and, at times, small blisters or flaking in the affected area.
Common causes: contact with metals, cosmetics, soaps, or plants, as well as a personal or family predisposition to allergies.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the allergist are the ones who usually study this condition; in children, the pediatrician or the pediatric dermatologist can guide care. If the skin discomfort recurs or interferes with your day-to-day life, it is advisable to discuss it with one of these professionals to understand what causes it.
