Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis refers to an itchy red rash that affects children of all ages. It can be due to an allergic reaction to a substance or direct contact. Although the rash is not contagious or fatal, it can be extremely uncomfortable. Soaps, fragrances, cosmetics, jewelry, and certain plants are examples of substances that can trigger such reactions.
By identifying and causing the substance that causes the problem, contact dermatitis normally improves or disappears completely within a short period. There are also available treatments that can help alleviate the associated symptoms.
