- Itching
- Redness

- protruding bumps
- Skin flaking or scaling
Contact Dermatitis
The most frequent cause of this reaction is an irritant. However, an allergic reaction is also conceivable; skin inflammation happens when an allergic trigger chemical comes in contact with your skin. Although the rash can resemble eczema, it often only manifests itself when the skin has come into touch with the offending substance. Commonly affected areas include the neck, feet, cheeks, and eyelids. Allergic contact dermatitis is most frequently brought on by poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. It can also be brought on by nickel in jewelry, cosmetics, antibiotic creams, rubber, and chemicals on shoes. Time can influence how people react. While you could anticipate experiencing the same symptoms if you come into contact with the trigger once more, you might experience different symptoms if you do.Causes
