Contact dermatitis is a term used when certain substances cause a rash, when they come in contact with your skin. Contact dermatitis can be divided into two types: allergic and irritant.<\/h4>\n

Allergic contact dermatitis<\/h1>\n

Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by \u201callergy\u201d cells in the skin reacting against the offending substance (\u201callergen\u201d). Symptoms include the red, itchy and blistering rash. Typically the rash begins about 24 to 48 hours after contact, and will occur wherever the allergen contacts the skin. The reaction can last anywhere from 7-28 days, with or without treatment. Frequent exposures decreases the time to development of rash and hence, symptoms may begin a few hours after contact.<\/h4>\n
