Contact Dermatitis
Identifying Irritants, Calming Symptoms, and Restoring Skin Health
Contact dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops when the skin reacts to something it touches. At Camelback Dermatology, we provide expert evaluation and personalized treatment to identify the cause, calm irritation, and restore the skin to a healthy and comfortable state.
Understanding Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis appears when the skin becomes irritated or allergic to a substance. It can present as redness, itching, dryness, swelling, or small bumps that may become painful or uncomfortable. The condition usually falls into two main categories. Irritant contact dermatitis occurs when something directly damages the skin barrier, and allergic contact dermatitis occurs when the immune system reacts to a specific trigger. Common culprits include fragrances, soaps, detergents, metals, plant oils, and topical products.
Expert Diagnosis and Patch Testing
Accurate diagnosis is essential for lasting relief. During your visit, our dermatology team carefully evaluates your skin, reviews your medical history, and identifies patterns that may point to specific triggers. When needed, we offer patch testing, a specialized diagnostic method that reveals which substances your skin may be reacting to. This helps create a clear roadmap for avoiding flare ups and managing symptoms long term.
Personalized Treatment for Clear and Comfortable Skin
Our treatment approach focuses on calming inflammation, repairing the skin barrier, and preventing future reactions. Depending on your needs, we may recommend medicated topical treatments, soothing skincare routines, oral medications for more severe cases, or targeted strategies to avoid identified triggers. Every plan is personalized to your lifestyle and skin type, ensuring results that are both effective and sustainable.
Long Term Management and Preventive Care from Contact Dermatitis
Once irritants or allergens are identified, we guide you through simple but powerful adjustments that help protect your skin. This includes education on product selection, barrier repair techniques, and long term habits that support clear and healthy skin. Our goal is not only to treat flare ups but also to prevent them.
Relief Through Expert Dermatologic Care
Contact dermatitis can be uncomfortable and disruptive, but with expert evaluation and personalized treatment at Camelback Dermatology, long term relief is achievable. Our team is dedicated to restoring comfort, clarity, and confidence in your skin.
