Dermatitis
What is Dermatitis
Dermatitis is a term that refers to a variety of skin irritations and rashes caused by a variety of factors including heredity, an overactive immune system, infections, allergies, irritating substances, and more. Dry skin, redness, and itching are common complaints.
The word “dermatitis” means “skin inflammation.” The words “derm” and “itis” imply “skin” and “inflammation,” respectively. The word signifies “skin irritation” in its entirety. The rashes range in severity from mild to severe, and depending on the cause, they can create a number of issues.
Dermatitis does not harm your health in any way. It is not communicable, nor does it indicate that your skin is dirty or sick. There are treatments and drugs available to help you manage your symptoms.
Our dermatologists are specialists in recognizing the signs and treating them appropriately.

- Cradle cap and diaper rash can affect your infant.
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis) commonly begins in childhood, but it can strike anyone at any age.
