What does dermatitis look like and how can I recognise dermatitis?
Dermatitis can appear as red, inflamed skin that may be dry, flaky, or scaly. It can also cause itching and discomfort, with some areas possibly oozing or crusting over. The appearance can vary depending on the type of dermatitis, but common signs include patches of irritated skin that may be more prominent in certain areas.
Key points:
- Redness and inflammation are common signs of dermatitis.
- Skin may be dry, flaky, or scaly in affected areas.
- Itching and discomfort often accompany the condition.
- Dermatitis can be triggered by physical, psychological, or medication-related factors.
