Understanding Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin reaction that occurs when your skin comes into contact with substances that either irritate it or trigger an allergic response. It's one of the most common occupational skin diseases and affects millions of people with unexplained rashes and skin reactions.
At Paradise Medical Center in Miami, our dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating both allergic and irritant contact dermatitis. We understand how frustrating it can be to experience recurring skin reactions without knowing the cause—that's why we offer comprehensive patch testing to identify your specific triggers.
Identifying the cause of contact dermatitis is essential for successful treatment. Without knowing what's triggering your reactions, you may continue to be exposed and suffer ongoing symptoms. Our systematic approach to diagnosis ensures we find the culprit substances so you can avoid them effectively.
Once we identify your triggers, we provide comprehensive treatment to heal your current symptoms and develop avoidance strategies to prevent future reactions. Many patients are surprised to learn the everyday products or workplace exposures causing their problems.
