What Are the Causes of Contact Dermatitis?
A rash called contact dermatitis may occur when the skin comes in direct contact with an irritating or allergy-causing substance. This type of skin inflammation is very common and accounts for 85 to 95 percent of workplace-related skin diseases, notes the World Allergy Organization. Symptoms may include redness, localized swelling, lesion or rash. In chronic cases, the skin may become scaly, raw or thickened.
