Symptoms
Contact dermatitis on four different skin colors. Contact dermatitisEnlarge image
Each type of dermatitis tends to occur in a different part of the body. Symptoms may include:
  • Itchiness that can be painful.
  • Dry, cracked, scaly skin, more typical on white skin.
  • Rash on swollen skin that varies in color depending on skin color.
  • Blisters, perhaps with oozing and crusting.
  • Dandruff.
  • Thickened skin.
  • Small, raised bumps, more typical on brown or Black skin.
See your doctor if:
  • You’re so uncomfortable that the condition is affecting sleep and daily activities.
  • Your skin is painful.
  • If you have a skin infection — look for new streaks, pus, and yellow scabs.
  • You have symptoms even after trying self-care steps.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have a fever and the rash looks infected.
A common cause of dermatitis is contact with something that irritates your skin or triggers an allergic reaction. Examples of such things are poison ivy, perfume, lotion and jewelry containing nickel. Other causes of dermatitis include dry skin, a viral infection, bacteria, stress, genetic makeup and a problem with the immune system.
Common risk factors for dermatitis include:
  • Age. Dermatitis can occur at any age, but atopic dermatitis is more common in children than adults. It often begins in infancy.
  • Allergies, atopic dermatitis and asthma. People who have a personal or family history of atopic dermatitis, allergies, hay fever or asthma are more likely to develop atopic dermatitis.
  • Occupation. Jobs that put you in contact with certain metals, solvents or cleaning supplies increase your risk of contact dermatitis. Being a health care worker is linked to hand eczema.
  • Other health conditions. Health conditions that put you at increased risk of seborrheic dermatitis include Parkinson’s disease, immunodeficiency and HIV/AIDS.
  • Take shorter baths and showers. Limit your bath or shower to about 10 minutes. Use lukewarm, not hot, water. Bath oil also may be helpful.
  • Use a mild soap or a soapless cleanser. Choose a cleanser that has no dyes, alcohols and fragrance. Some soaps can dry the skin. For young children, you usually need only warm water to get them clean — no soap or bubble bath needed. Don’t scrub the skin with a washcloth or loofah.
  • Pat dry. After bathing, gently pat the skin with a soft towel. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
  • Moisturize all the skin. While the skin is still damp, seal in moisture with an oil, cream or lotion. Moisturize throughout the day as needed.Many moisturizers are sold. Try different products to find one that works for you. The ideal moisturizer is safe, unscented, effective, affordable and one that you like to use regularly. Examples include Vanicream, Eucerin, CeraVe and Cetaphil.
  • None of the suggested treatment treat the cause. In a dicussion with my doctor and through my own research, gluten is said to be the leading cause of ezcema.
  • Intitially I eliminated all gluten and 5 nightshades. That helped but my skin still wasn’t healing.
  • For the two episodes on my back I finally landed on essential oils that help detoxify and heal. Freom there I created Essential Body Rub and later made a blend of essential oils for dermititis.
  • Finally, I had it on both legs and had to finally surrender to the aid of a dermitologist (now retired). Both legs were severly infected so she wrapped both legs up to my knees in gauze soaked in zinc. That made me do more research and some types of ezcema need zinc to heal. It worked! When she took the gauze off one week later, both legs looked like new baby skin. I had one more obsticle to overcome at this point. my legs had to slough dead cells and as much as I tried, nothing helped. It was like dead skin after a sunburn has healed. That’s when I created sugar scrub. The first time I used it all the dead skin was gone. Since doing those treatments I haven’t had anymore episodes.
  • Drop me a message if you have any questions or want to try my products for Dermititis.
  • My source is Mayo Clinic. My photos are the products I created that helped.
  • I am making no claims to diagnose, tell you what treatment will work for you, or cure any disease. I am an LLC business located in Coos Bay, Oregon.
  • I really want to hear from you because it matters to me how you are feeling about you health. Natural remedies are amazing but medical advice is important too.
  • If you would like to try all three I can switch my Senory blend for the Dermititis Blend. You have to ask me to do that however as I can’t read your mind.

Description

 

Dermatitis encompasses various skin inflammation conditions, often resulting in symptoms like rashes, itching, redness, swelling, dryness, and even blistering. The experience can range from localized irritation to widespread issues.

Common Types of Dermatitis:

  1. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): A chronic condition often linked to allergies and asthma, characterized by dry, itchy patches.
  2. Contact Dermatitis: Results from skin contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness and inflammation.
  3. Cradle Cap: A form of seborrheic dermatitis commonly seen in infants, resulting in scaly patches on the scalp.
  4. Diaper Rash: Often caused by moisture and friction, leading to red, inflamed skin in diapered areas.
  5. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A chronic condition that causes scaly patches, red skin, and stubborn dandruff.

Seeking Relief

For effective treatment, consulting a specialist is crucial for a proper diagnosis. While many treatments may offer only short-term relief, focusing on the underlying causes is key. Finding a solution that alleviates itching and pain, while promoting healing, can be challenging but essential for managing dermatitis.

Read my compresive guide to infants, children 5-7, and pregnacy:

When it comes to dermatitis in infants and pregnant women, special care is necessary due to sensitive skin and the potential impact on both the mother and baby. Here’s an overview:

For Infants:

  1. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema):
    • Symptoms: Red, itchy patches often found on the face, scalp, and in the creases of the arms and legs.
    • Management: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers, avoid known triggers, and consider hypoallergenic clothing. Consult a pediatrician for appropriate treatments.
  2. Cradle Cap:
    • Symptoms: Yellow, greasy patches on the scalp.
    • Management: Regular washing with a mild shampoo can help, along with gentle brushing to loosen scales.
  3. Diaper Rash:
    • Symptoms: Red, inflamed skin in the diaper area.
    • Management: Frequent diaper changes, barrier creams (like zinc oxide), and allowing the skin to air out can be effective.

For Pregnant Women:

  1. Atopic Dermatitis:
    • Symptoms: Similar to infants, can worsen during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
    • Management: Consult a dermatologist for safe treatment options; moisturizers are essential.
  2. Contact Dermatitis:
    • Management: Identify and avoid triggers, such as certain soaps or detergents. Use gentle, fragrance-free products.
  3. Seborrheic Dermatitis:
    • Management: Mild medicated shampoos may help; always check with a healthcare provider before use.

General Considerations

  • Consultation: Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any treatment to ensure safety for both the mother and child.
  • Gentle Products: Opt for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products for both infants and pregnant women to minimize irritation.
  • Hydration: Keeping the skin well-hydrated is key for prevention and management in both groups.

In conclusion it is important to be informed about safety. Here is my guide:

Safe Oils for Dermatitis

  2. Sweet Almond Oil
    • Benefits: Rich in vitamins A and E, helps soothe and hydrate.
    • Usage: Massage into the skin after bathing. Generally safe for infants; patch test first.
  3. Jojoba Oil
    • Benefits: Mimics the skin’s natural oils and provides hydration.
    • Usage: Apply directly to dry areas. Safe for both infants and pregnant women.
  4. Olive Oil
    • Benefits: Moisturizes and has anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Usage: Use as a moisturizer or in bath water. Generally safe, but test for sensitivity.
  5. Sunflower Oil
    • Benefits: Rich in fatty acids, helps restore the skin barrier.
    • Usage: Apply to affected areas. Safe for infants; patch test recommended.
  6. Calendula Oil

Guidelines for Use

  • Patch Test: Always perform a patch test before applying a new oil to a large area. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction.
  • Dilution: For essential oils, always dilute them in a carrier oil. A general rule is to use 1-2 drops of essential oil per tablespoon of carrier oil.
  • Application: Apply oils after bathing when the skin is slightly damp to help lock in moisture. Use gently without rubbing too hard.
  • Frequency: Depending on skin condition, oils can be applied 1-2 times a day or as needed for dryness and irritation.
  • Consultation: For pregnant women and infants, consult a healthcare provider before using any new products, especially essential oils.

Important Considerations

  • Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of oils with strong fragrances or known allergens.
  • Use Quality Products: Choose high-quality, cold-pressed, and organic oils when possible.
  • Monitor Skin Response: Keep an eye on how the skin reacts and adjust usage as necessary.

By incorporating these safe oils into a skincare routine, you can help soothe and manage dermatitis effectively while prioritizing safety for both infants and pregnant women.
