There are many types of dermatitis. Symptoms can vary
depending on the type of dermatitis you have.
- Contact dermatitis, caused
by exposure to an irritant or allergic
reaction, typically shows up as a red, itchy rash that is limited to the area of
skin exposed to the substance.
- Nummular dermatitis, common in people who have dry
skin or live in dry
environments, shows up as red, itchy, circular patches of weeping, scaly,
or crusted skin.
- Seborhic dermatitis called cradle cap in infants, causes greasy,
yellowish scales on the scalp and eyebrows, behind the ears, and around
the nose.
- Stasis dermatitis causes scaling and swelling of the lower legs. Sometimes ulcerated
or open skin appears inside the lower legs and around the ankles.
- Atopic dermatitis(eczema) can cause extreme, persistent skin itchiness. However, many times, itchiness results simply from dry skin.Call 9004839333 for appointments at our clinics at Malad,Juhu and Bandra in Mumbai.
