Chemical, chemical bathing agents irritating drugs, long-term stimulation of purulent secretions. Fungal, microspores, gypsum-like microspores, and hairy fungi.

Mechanical damage (18%):

Mechanical, collar abrasions, autologous contusions, scratches cause traumatic dermatitis, burns, frostbite, radiation damage, etc.

Allergies (20%):

Parasitic, such as Demodex, sputum, sputum, sputum, sputum, schistosomiasis, hookworms, etc. In addition, food allergies, drug allergies can lead to dermatitis.

Dermatitis prevention

1. To do a good job of personal hygiene, often take a bath, while the water temperature should not be too high, 30 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius is appropriate.

Dermatitis complications Complications folliculitis lymphitis

The symptoms of the disease are light and heavy, and severe cases may be secondary to folliculitis and lymphitis. Persistent rubbing of the ankle or upper back can cause starchy material to deposit in the dermis, which in turn develops plaque and bryophyte-like disease.

1. The skin appears red, swollen in the form of strips, strips or indefinite shapes. It may be covered with suede when it is exuded. When the skin is damaged, it may have erosion or ulceration, and there is local itching.

2. When the skin is covered with a large amount of inflammatory exudate and chronic dermatitis, the skin is peeled off. The skin is thickened and wrinkled.

3. In the case of fungal dermatitis, the affected part is depilated, with white powdery cruscles and red protrusions around the armpits.

4, when suffering from parasitic dermatitis, the head, back, abdomen can be seen with a red rash-like nodule, the surface has yellow suede, and there is hair removal and itching.

Dermatitis examination

1. Hematology and serological examination

Peripheral blood eosinophilia. T lymphocytes (especially Ts) are reduced. Serum IgE levels were significantly increased.

2. Skin test

Rapid allergic reactions to certain allergens (eg fungi, pollen, dander) are often positive. Intradermal test (delayed allergic reaction) with tuberculin, candida, etc., often negative or weakly positive.

3. Skin white scratch test

Use a blunt instrument to scratch the skin and white scratches on the skin (normal people are red).

Dermatitis diagnosis

Infants and childhood rashes are more common in the face and extremities or elbows and armpits, with erythema, papules and exudation and other morphological damage; youth and adult lesions are lichen-like changes in the flexor or extension of the limb, rash Itching is intense and presents a chronic relapsing process. Determining whether a child has "ectopic" quality is important for the diagnosis of AD. The main basis is: history of genetic allergy (asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis), IgE antibody determination and some Some pharmacological tests.
