Contact Dermatitis

A skin disorder that arises when the skin encounters particular substances that provoke inflammation.

What is it?

Various irritants can cause contact dermatitis, varying from cleaning products and soaps to specific plants, such as poison ivy or poison oak. This reaction leads to red, itchy and frequently painful rashes on the skin areas that interact with the irritants. The disorder isn't infectious, but it can be extremely bothersome and even painful for some.


Predominantly, there are two kinds of contact dermatitis- allergic contact dermatitis (a skin reaction due to an allergy to something touching your skin, i.e., poison ivy, fragrances, dyes) and irritant contact dermatitis (a triggered skin reaction caused by repeated exposure to substances over time, i.e., soaps, chemicals).


Our board-certified dermatologists can effectively help you address contact dermatitis — they are experts in pinpointing the origin of your symptoms, which is crucial for effective treatment.


How is it treated?

At Dermatology & Skin Surgery Center, we understand how contact dermatitis can impact your daily life, which is why we create a customized approach just for you. Our experienced dermatologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating this common skin condition. With years of experience handling various skin conditions, we're committed to providing personalized, effective solutions. 


Our dermatologists conduct a patch test to identify the precise allergen or irritant triggering the reaction and provide appropriate treatment. These interventions may encompass topical creams to alleviate the inflammation, oral medications to control symptoms and advice on how to sidestep the offending substances in the future. We’ll also share valuable guidance on preventative strategies, such as utilizing gentle, hypoallergenic skincare items and shielding your skin from known irritants.


We’re conveniently located throughout Michigan and Indiana. With offices in Adrian, Battle Creek, Dowagiac, Hillsdale, Jackson, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Sturgis, Michigan, and Angola, Elkhart, Goshen and Plymouth, Indiana, our offices are easily accessible, ensuring you receive the care you need when you need it. Contact us today to help you manage your contact dermatitis and restore the health of your skin.
