Understanding Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis occurs when your skin reacts to substances it touches. There are two main types:
Allergic Contact Dermatitis develops when your immune system becomes sensitized to a specific allergen. Common triggers include nickel, fragrances, preservatives, poison ivy, and certain cosmetic ingredients. This type of allergic contact dermatitis rash can appear hours to days after exposure.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis results from direct damage to the skin from harsh chemicals, soaps, or frequent hand washing. This type typically appears more quickly after contact.
Both types can affect any area of the body, but we commonly see allergic contact dermatitis on the face and contact dermatitis on the eyelid and lips due to cosmetic and personal care product exposure.
Contact Dermatitis Treatment FAQs
Patch testing typically takes 4-6 days to complete, with results interpreted at multiple visits. Most patients receive clear answers about their specific allergens within one week of testing.
Treatment costs vary based on the approach needed, testing requirements, and insurance coverage. Most medical treatments and patch testing for contact dermatitis are covered by insurance when medically necessary. Pricing will be discussed during your consultation.
During patch testing, you’ll need to keep the test patches dry and avoid vigorous exercise for 48-72 hours. Most patients can continue normal activities with minor modifications.
With proper trigger avoidance and treatment, most patients see significant improvement within 2-4 weeks. Chronic cases may take longer to fully resolve as the skin barrier repairs itself.
While there’s no cure for allergic contact dermatitis, it can be effectively managed through trigger identification and avoidance. Most patients achieve excellent long-term control once they know what to avoid.
Recurring contact dermatitis usually indicates ongoing exposure to triggers or incomplete identification of allergens. Our comprehensive evaluation and patch testing can help identify hidden sources of exposure you may not have considered.
Most people with suspected allergic contact dermatitis are good candidates for patch testing. During your consultation, we’ll determine if testing is appropriate for your specific situation and symptoms
