Contact Dermatitis (Skin Allergy)

Our skin is the best shield against any encroacher; it is that outer protector of our body which keeps bouncing with unnecessary elements and constantly resists them. The bacteria which cause allergic reaction in our skin are also known as ALLERGEN.

On a day to day basis our face, hand, neck and arms adjoins many such allergen which causes itching or irritation resulting in contact dermatitis. The first symptom of such dermatitis is itching or redness in the skin and later it might turn worst like swelling or cracking if the affected keeps scratching the skin. Have you ever noticed when we start scratching; the itching in the skin keeps increasing. This is because the skin and the nerves below get ignited, the more we scratch the more it gets ignited.
