Among the diseases that harm people's health and image, skin diseases are very common, which has a great impact on the personal lives of countless patients, and even makes them suffer from strange looks from others. Male contact dermatitis is one of the more common skin diseases, and many friends are still not very clear about this disease. So, what are the symptoms of male contact dermatitis? Regarding the symptoms of this disease, let's take a look at the following specific introduction.

Contact dermatitis, also known as toxic dermatitis (dermatitis venenata), is an inflammatory reaction to the skin or mucous membranes when they come into contact with certain external irritants or allergens. Most of them are acute, but can become chronic with repeated contact. Traditional Chinese medicine names them according to the different contact substances, such as "toilet dermatitis", "lacquer dermatitis", "plaster dermatitis", "powder dermatitis", etc.

Clinical manifestations of contact dermatitis:

1. Contact dermatitis usually occurs with a history of contact with allergic substances or irritants. The onset is usually acute, with skin lesions occurring at the contact site.

2. The severity of skin damage is related to the strength of the allergen or irritant, the duration of action, the size of the contact area, and the sensitivity of the body. Skin damage is generally limited to the contact area, mostly exposed areas. In mild cases, there is only local congestion, with clear borders, light red or bright red spots, and the shape is roughly the same as the contact object; in severe cases, papules, blisters, erosions and exudation of large blisters may occur; strong irritants may cause skin necrosis or ulcers; when the body is highly sensitive, it may spread throughout the body. Contact dermatitis may occur when the contact object is brought to other parts of the body due to scratching or other reasons. The patient may feel burning or itching, and in severe cases may feel pain. A small number of patients, especially those with widespread rash, may experience systemic reactions such as chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, and headache.

3. Contact dermatitis is self-limiting. After the cause is removed and proper treatment is given, it usually heals in a few days or more than ten days. If it is scratched or treated improperly, or the infection or irritant is not removed in time, the course of the disease will be prolonged and become chronic dermatitis, similar to chronic eczema.

4. Allergic contact dermatitis: patch tests of contact objects are often positive.
