What is Contact Dermatitis?

Contact dermatitis compensation claims

It is inflammation of the skin due to contact with exposure to what are known as skin irritants or skin sensitisers.

There are three main types of contact dermatitis:

• irritant contact dermatitis – this is caused by things that dry out and damage the skin, such as solvents, detergents, oils and prolonged or frequent contact with water
• allergic contact dermatitis – this can occur if you develop an allergy to something that comes into contact with your skin. Such substances include chemicals and cement, hair products, epoxy resins and some food
• contact urticara – things like plants, foods and natural rubber latex gloves can cause urticara
