Care of irritated skin in the summer: over-the-counter products
Irritant contact dermatitis is a term referring to inflammatory reactions occurring due to the action of toxic agents on the skin. It is encountered by everyone in their lifetime. In the acute course, it can often be managed with over-the-counter products, of which there is a vast variety available in the market. In the chronic course in particular, sensitization to many substances can occur, and an originally irritant dermatitis changes into an allergic one. The disease can be complicated by bacterial or viral infection. In such a case it should be taken care of by a dermatologist.
