About Contact dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory skin disorder triggered by direct cutaneous exposure to exogenous substances.

It primarily affects the integumentary system across all age groups and is broadly classified into irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.

Irritant contact dermatitis involves non-immunologic physical or chemical disruption of the epidermal barrier, whereas allergic contact dermatitis is a delayed-type (type IV) hypersensitivity reaction mediated by allergen-primed T lymphocytes.

Clinically, the condition manifests with well-demarcated pruritus, erythema, edema, and vesiculation in acute phases, often progressing to lichenification, xerosis, and scaling with chronic exposure.
