Dermatitis Treatment

What is Dermatitis?

Dermatitis is essentially a catchall term for skin inflammation. However, there are different types of skin dermatitis, and understanding them and their causes can go a long way in helping those who suffer from the conditions to better understand their treatment options.
Nearly each type of dermatitis starts off with patches of skin that are red, itchy and dry. From there, the rash can become crusty, painful, cracked and even blistered depending on the severity. When you are first diagnosed with dermatitis, your doctor will probably focus on the most likely cause in an effort to determine the type that you are experiencing.

The Different Types of Dermatitis

There are essentially five different categories of dermatitis, and each category has its own causes and symptoms.

Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is the most common category of the condition, and is noted by a red or pink rash that itches. While determining the exact cause of contact dermatitis can be difficult, the cause will typically result in the diagnosis being one of the following:

  • Allergic Contact Dermatitis - Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance for a brief period. Some of the most common forms of allergic contact dermatitis result from touching poison ivy, oak or sumac, fragrances, rubber, certain hair dyes, skin care products and some detergents.
  • Irritant Contact Dermatitis - Irritant contact dermatitis occurs when the skin is aggravated by repeated exposure to a harsh substance. This condition can be caused by anything that causes irritation to the skin, including water in those who habitually over-wash their hands.

Contact dermatitis can often be avoided by making sure to keep away from potentially irritating agents or plants that are likely to cause an allergic reaction.

Nummular Dermatitis

Nummular dermatitis is a condition that is typically seen in those who are over 55 years of age, with most cases affecting men. This condition results in red, coin-shaped plaques that appear on the arms, legs, hands and sometimes the torso. Generally, nummular dermatitis is caused by taking frequent showers with very hot water or living in an environment that is very dry.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, which is also known as eczema, is typically seen in infants and children in families that have a history of the condition. In most cases children outgrow eczema, but it can continue into, or even start, in adulthood. Other causes beyond genetics can include the environment, stress, allergies and even defects in the skin’s barrier that allow germs to enter more easily.

Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition that is known as cradle cap in infants and dandruff in adults. However, in addition to being on the head, this condition can also be on the face and genitals and can have greasy scaling in a reddish or yellowish color. This condition is common, and may be aggravated by stress.

Stasis Dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis often presents as skin irritations in areas such as the ankles. This condition is caused by a decrease in blood circulation that results in the legs swelling. Since the veins don’t circulate the blood in the legs properly, the blood and fluid pools and builds up, resulting in swelling. When this process continues repeatedly, it results in irritation of the skin.

Our Approach

The skin inflammation is a sign of toxins inside your body. You see it on the skin because your skin is the largest and only visible organ of your body. Therefore, in the case of serious or chronic skin problems, treating from the outside with cream is not sufficient.

Our natural approach is to detoxify your body by expelling the toxins from inside; preventing the problems from coming back.*
