Most dermatitis is not contagious to others. Common dermatitis include allergic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, neurodermatitis, etc. These dermatitis occur due to adverse external stimuli, the patient's own physical or mental factors, so it is almost not contagious. Treatment of dermatitis requires the timely application of anti-allergic drugs to control symptoms, such as loratadine, chlorpheniramine, etc., while removing allergens and substances causing skin damage. If the affected area only feels mild itching and does not show obvious exudation, calamine lotion can be applied to the affected area. For patients with large skin damage or severe itching, topical corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone butyrate cream, budesonide cream, etc. Due to the variety of dermatitis, it is best to go to the hospital after illness, according to the doctor's advice to medication.
