Basics of Skin Allergies

Does anyone know what exactly causes rashes or skin allergies? Well, those people with contact dermatitis have true skin allergies. Contact with dermatitis occurs in all ages and just children as most people think. Hand dermatitis is mainly caused by skin irritants such as detergents or other chemicals. Dryness on the skin occurs due to lack of water. If you don’t have oily skin then there is more evaporation of water which at the ends forms dryness to the skin.

Now, let’s talk about DO’s and DONT’s.

DO’s

• To hydrate and soften skin, use moisturizers twice daily and often on hands. This reduces itching.
• Try to avoid whatever exposures worsen your rash.
