WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is skin irritation?

Contact dermatitis is your skin's way of saying it doesn't like something it touched. This contact can be with an irritant, which directly damages the skin, or an allergen, which triggers an allergic reaction in the skin. It can result in affected areas becoming darker, grayish, or purplish in darker skin tones or redder in lighter skin tones. You may also experience itching, small blisters, or dry scaly patches.

Common symptoms

Symptoms may include:

  • Skin discoloration, which may become lighter or darker
  • Dry and scaly skin
  • Rashes that may blister
  • Patches of inflamed skin
  • Skin that is sensitive and may burn or sting
  • Skin that cracks and can become painful
  • Itching, which can be severe and disrupt sleep
