What is Dermatitis?
Dermatitis is classified as an inflammation of the skin. Generally, dermatitis manifests as a rash, and the symptoms can include swelling, redness, itching, cracking, and pain. The cause of dermatitis is either direct skin contact with an irritant or an allergic reaction to something in the environment. Dermatitis is not contagious. Many subsets of dermatitis have been classified, including psoriasis and eczema. Nearly everyone has or has had some type of dermatitis in their lives.
In the treatment of dermatitis, one sometimes sees a rosacea- like eruption around the mouth area. Known as peri-oral dermatitis, peri-oral refers to the facial area around the mouth while dermatitis pertains to inflammation, redness or irritation of the skin. In addition, there are usually small red bumps or even pus bumps and mild peeling as the skin is extremely aggravated. This condition may be wrongfully thought of as acne while others believe it to be a manifestation of their rosacea. Peri-oral dermatitis is often aggravated by fluoridated or tartar-control toothpaste, chapstick, the ingredients in lipstick, and mouthwash. Peri-oral dermatitis is a common skin problem that mostly affects young women, however, occasionally men and children are affected by it.
Other skin conditions affecting the facial skin include rosacea and acne. In a definition provided by the International Rosacea Foundation, rosacea is an inflammation of the skin with resulting facial redness (erythema) and symptoms of vasculation of spidery blood vessels (telangiectasia), swelling (hyperplasia), rosacea papules (red solid elevated inflammatory skin lesion without pus). Rosacea's more pronounced symptoms can vary in intensity when exacerbated. Rosacea has often been described as a progressive disorder; however, the rosacea symptoms do not have to become progressively worse. Rosacea can be controlled, managed and improved easily and quickly. Rosacea is often confused with dermatitis. Definitions for rosacea vary by physician. Likewise, Rosacea treatments vary by dermatologist for the same rosacea symptoms. And the baffled medical community remains constant.
Acne is also classified as an inflammation of the skin. Acne is caused by three main factors. Abnormal keratinization of the lining of the sebaceous gland caused by androgen stimulation, resulting in plugging of the gland; Increased production of sebum by the sebaceous gland due to androgen stimulation ; A bacterium Propionibacterium proliferates within the gland and modifies the sebum. Propionibacterium is a bacterium normally found on the skin. Acne is influenced by many more factors. Hormones play a part in the production of conditions which can promote the occurrence of acne. Over use or abuse of acne treatments themselves can cause a worsening of acne. Makeup applied to the skin can in some instances cause conditions leading to the symptoms of acne. Diet, while not normally thought to be a cause of acne, can in fact lead to a pH imbalance in the body and the body's largest organ, the skin will also be affected. Hairspray, gels and conditioners can clog the pores along the hair line leading to acne pimples.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a non-contagious condition that causes flaking and redness of the skin. It occurs when there is inflammation in areas of the skin where sebaceous (skin oil) glands are concentrated. It usually affects the scalp, but can also affect other parts of the body, such as eyebrows, eyelids, the folds of the nose,lips, behind or inside the ears, in the external ear, the forehead and the chin and the skin of the trunk, particularly around the navel, in the skin folds under the arms, in the groin, or under the breasts. Seborrheic dermatitis appears to run in families. Stress, fatigue, weather extremes, oily skin, infrequent shampoos or skin cleaning, use of lotions that contain alcohol, or skin disorders such as acne or obesity may increase the risk.

Notable pages include: Eczema: Symptoms, cause and treatment, Psoriasis: Symptoms, cause and treatment, and Lifestyle Changes to Combat Eczema and Psoriasis. For more information about the cause of dermatitis, which we believe to be the same as the cause of other skin conditions such as acne and rosacea, visit the Rosacea-Ltd cause and etiology of rosacea page.
Your skin condition can have an effect not only on how you view yourself but also on how you view life and the world around you. Take for example Karl Marx, who complained of excruciating boils. He actually suffered from a chronic skin disease with known psychological effects that may well have influenced his writings. Not everyone is so dramatically influenced by their dermatitis condition, but this certainly demonstrates how totally our health can influence our lives. The day to day struggle to maintain and control a skin condition can impact and alter our moods, our daily activities and how we perceive the would around us.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is a skin disease which affects approximately 26 million Americans (Dermatology Times, Oct.1998). Eczema is characterized by a rash, dryness of skin, itching, and redness of skin (Rouse). The symptoms of eczema occur due to the overproduction of damaging inflammatory skin cells and continue to worsen as a result of certain factors in the environment. The cause of Allergic Eczema, Contact Eczema, and Atopic Eczema can all be traced to environmental factors. Foods, shampoos, soaps, laundry detergents, synthetic fabrics, stress, and temperature changes are capable of irritating already existing eczema (Dermatology Times, Oct. 1998) and may even be the cause of a new eczema condition. Although eczema is a chronic skin condition, there are various forms of treatment and interventions available to help control eczema. Eczema or dermatitis is a hereditary condition and thus is not contagious to others. The eczema-affected skin is very sensitive and the individual must be aware of the trigger factors and try to avoid them.
The more common types of eczema include:
- Nummular eczema or discoid eczema - causes disk-shaped patches to appear on the lower leg.
- Seborrheic eczema - this eczema will cause dry flaky patches, frequently on the face or scalp.
- Dyshidrotic eczema - dermatitis of the hands and/or foot.
- Atopic eczema - often occurs with allergies or hayfever indicating an allergen cause.
- Contact dermatitis - caused by a substance which may cause an allergic or irritant contact reaction.
- Baby eczema - red rash on the cheeks, chin, torso; the cause is usually environmental.
- Foot eczema - scaly areas of irritated skin, common in children during wintertime when the air contains less moisture.
- Neurodermatitis - the cause of this condition is repeated scratching.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that affects over 6 million people in the United States (National Psoriasis Foundation). In the clinical picture, psoriasis can trace its cause to a hyper proliferation of the epidermis, concomitant inflammation, and vascular changes, which occur based on combined genetic and environmental factors (Camisa 7). Psoriasis presents itself equally in men and women and is rarely life threatening (Whitman and McGibbon). Psoriasis appears most frequently between the ages of 15 and 35, but it is possible for it to occur very early or very late in life (National Psoriasis Foundation). A general picture of psoriasis can encompass different stages. Some people may experience limited psoriasis while others may experience more widespread psoriasis (National Psoriasis Foundation). Psoriasis is characterized by silvery-white scaly patches of various size seen most commonly on the knees, elbows, and scalp (Hall 127). Psoriasis occurs when skin cells mature at an accelerated rate (Nicksin). On a normal basis, skin cells grow, mature, and shed about once a month. Skin cells of a person with psoriasis grow nearly seven times faster and build up at the skin's surface resulting in red, raised, scaly patches and lesions (Nicksin). Although some individuals complain of itching, it is not a very common complaint. Only 30% of people with psoriasis complain of itching (Hall 132). Individuals who scratch their psoriasis can cause cracking and bleeding, making the condition worse. Development of psoriasis is caused by genetic factors and approximately one-third of individuals with psoriasis can trace the cause to a positive family history (Mackie 36).
The more common types of psoriasis include:
- Plaque-type psoriasis or psoriasis vulgaris - this psoriasis will cause inflamed skin lesions topped with silvery white scales.
- Guttate psoriasis - this type of psoriasis will cause small dot-like lesions.
- Pustular psoriasis - this psoriasis will cause blister-like lesions of non-infectious fluid, and intense scaling.
- Inverse psoriasis - this psoriasis is characterized by smooth inflamed lesions in the body folds -- armpits, under the breasts, in the skin folds of the groin, buttocks, and genitals.
- Scalp psoriasis - may cause lesions that extend from the hairline onto the forehead and the nape of the neck.
- Koebner's Phenomenon psoriasis - will cause lesions which appear at the site of injury, infection or other skin psoriasis.

STASIS DERMATITIS
Stasis dermatitis is characterized by scaly, greasy looking skin on the lower legs and around the ankles. Stasis dermatitis usually affects the inner side of the calf and is generally related to circulatory problems. Stasis dermatitis may cause a discoloration of the skin at your ankles and over your shins in which they appear red or brown in color, thick and itchy. Stasis dermatitis can occur when fluid accumulates in the tissues just beneath your skin. Varicose veins and other chronic conditions in your legs can cause the fluid buildup. This swelling is caused when the fluid portion of blood leaks out of the blood vessels and into the tissues. The excess fluid in the tissues interferes with the blood's ability to feed the tissue cells and dispose of cellular waste products. The tissue becomes poorly nourished and fragile, resulting in stasis dermatitis. The disorder is common on the ankles because there is less supportive tissue in this area.If you suffer from poor circulation, have had a blood clot in your legs, have varicose veins or are overweight you are at risk of developing Stasis dermatitis. When you have poor circulation, the blood doesn't circulate as well through the veins to the heart. The resulting increase in pressure weakens the vein walls causing fluid to pool in the lower legs making the ankles to swell. Blood may then leak through the very small vessels in the legs, causing a dark red or brown patch under the skin. Over a period of time the skin becomes very thin and fragile on the lower legs and can easily break down, leading to an ulcer. In severe cases of Stasis dermatitis the affected skin may display weeping, crusted areas, which can enlarge quickly and become a varicose leg ulcer. The resulting leg ulcer is a small hole in the skin, which can deepen and widen and become very sore. Because of the nature of the wound it can easily become infected and can be difficult to heal especially in those with poor circulation. The affected area appears swollen, particularly after prolonged standing and during hot weather. Swelling is due to inflammation and edema in the lymph nodes.
You help to control the swelling of stasis dermatitis by:
1) Avoid standing for long periods of time.
2) Taking regular walks to improve or increase circulation and help reduce excess weight that may be affecting the condition.
3) Elevate your feet when sitting: if your legs are swollen they need to be above your hips to drain effectively.
4) Keep the foot of your bed elevated at night.

Researchers believe the immune system sends faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle in skin cells. Certain people carry genes that make them more likely to develop psoriasis, but not everyone with these genes develops psoriasis. Instead, a “trigger” makes the psoriasis appear in those who have these genes. Also, some triggers may work [...] (read more)
