Dermatitis is a general term covering skin conditions in which inflammation is the key feature. The inflammation causes a red, scaly rash resulting in itching or pain, most commonly occurring on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, skin behind the ears, and middle of the chest. Other areas, such as the navel, buttocks, under the arms, auxiliary regions, breasts, and groin, may also be involved. Dermatitis is also called eczema, from the Greek word ekzein, meaning “to boil over or break out”, because of the small blisters that occur.
Who gets dermatitis?
When dermatitis occurs among
infants, it is called “cradle cap”. It
usually clears up untreated by 8 to 12 months of age. In some infants,
dermatitis may be confused with another form of diaper rash, in a case where it
develops only in the diaper area. In the case of diaper rash, Great Scott
doesn't perform as well because it keeps the skin very moist rather than dry.
Dermatitis also commonly occurs in middle age and among the elderly. When
dermatitis develops at these ages, it will often flare up for a time and then go
into remission. Dermatitis is common in people with oily skin or hair, and may
be seen with acne or psoriasis.
Is this condition associated with other diseases?
Since stress can lead to
dermatitis, it is sometimes seen in patients recovering from stressful medical
conditions, such as a heart attack. Dermatitis
may also occur in patients with diseases affecting the nervous system, such as
Parkinson’s disease; those with disorders of the immune system also seem to be
more prone to dermatitis. Stress from other outside factors in a person’s life often
leads to mild to moderate dermatitis.
Treatment
There is no way to prevent or cure dermatitis, and in fact it may improve without any treatment. Great Scott can be used with dermatitis. A medical doctor should treat stubborn, resistive cases.
Gentle shampooing with a mild shampoo is helpful for infants with cradle cap. Mild cream and lotion, such as Great Scott Medicated Skin Cream may be applied to the affected areas of skin. Adult patients may need to use a medicated shampoo. As excessive use of stronger preparations, as prescribed by medical doctors, can cause side effects, patients should follow their dermatologist’s advice.Additional Skin Disorder Research
