Causes and Risk Factors of Dermatitis
Dermatitis is caused by irritants, allergens, or genetics. Common triggers include harsh soaps, chemicals, or stress. Risk factors include a family history of allergies or asthma, age (infants and elderly), and certain occupations like healthcare or cleaning that involve exposure to irritants, increasing the likelihood of dermatitis.
Diagnosis of Dermatitis
Dermatitis is diagnosed through a physical examination, patient history, and identifying symptoms like redness, itching, and swelling. Patch testing may be used to detect allergens, while skin biopsies help rule out other conditions. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, as symptoms can resemble other skin disorders.
