What are the symptoms of allergic dermatitis?

Allergic dermatitis is a type of skin disease. When allergic dermatitis occurs in the human body, symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, peeling, and wheals will occur. Different allergens will cause different symptoms. Therefore, people with allergic skin must pay attention to their diet in daily life and stay away from allergens.

Allergic dermatitis symptoms

1. Contact dermatitis

It refers to the local redness, edema, itching and pain after the skin comes into contact with a certain substance. In severe cases, blisters and peeling may occur. Substances that can cause contact dermatitis include jewelry, watch chains, glasses frames, sandals, synthetic fabrics, topical medications, chemicals, cosmetics, etc. Once the above symptoms are found, immediately look for the item that causes the allergy and stop contacting it. People who are prone to contact dermatitis are mostly allergic people.

2. Cosmetic dermatitis

Allergic reactions to cosmetics can cause allergic dermatitis symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and blisters. From a medical point of view, if you are allergic to a certain cosmetic, it is best not to use it. For some cosmetics and industries that have to be used, the most scientific way is to fundamentally improve the allergic constitution.
