Contact Dermatitis
Identifying what your skin is reacting to, and treating the reaction it causes.
Contact dermatitis is a rash caused by something the skin has touched. It comes in two forms: an irritant reaction, where a substance directly damages the skin, and an allergic reaction, where the immune system responds to a specific substance it has become sensitised to. The distinction matters, because the second one recurs every time you meet that substance again.

About Contact Dermatitis
What is Contact Dermatitis?
The most important part of treatment is identification. The pattern and location of the rash frequently point to the cause — a band around the wrist, a line where a necklace sits, the fingertips in someone handling chemicals, the face in someone using a new cosmetic. The doctor works through exposures systematically: cosmetics, hair dye, metals in jewellery, detergents, footwear, occupational contact, plants and topical medicines. Treatment then settles the current reaction while avoidance prevents the next.
- 1
Examination and pattern reading
The doctor examines where the rash is and what shape it takes — the distribution frequently identifies the cause on its own.
- 2
Exposure history
A systematic review of cosmetics, hair products, jewellery, clothing, detergents, occupational contact, footwear and topical medicines.
- 3
Treatment of the reaction
Individualised homeopathic treatment to settle the current episode, alongside skin care to restore the barrier.
- 4
Avoidance plan
Specific, practical guidance on what to avoid and what to substitute, which is what stops it recurring.
- 5
Review
Follow-up to confirm the rash is settling and that the identified trigger was correct.

What it addresses
Why patients consider Contact Dermatitis
These describe what the treatment is used for, not what it will achieve. Individual response varies and no specific outcome is promised.
Focuses on identifying the trigger, which is what prevents recurrence
Distinguishes an allergic reaction from an irritant one, since they are managed differently
Treats the current reaction alongside a practical avoidance plan
Suitability
Who it's for — and who it isn't
The consultation is largely detective work. The doctor spends most of it on exposure history, because identifying the trigger is worth more than any treatment for the rash itself.
Ideal for
Confirmed at consultation, not from this list.
- A rash that appears in a defined area or pattern rather than all over
- Reactions after starting a new cosmetic, hair dye, detergent or medicine
- Recurring rashes where the trigger has never been identified
- Occupational skin problems in people handling chemicals, cement or water repeatedly

What to expect
Your visit, start to finish
The current reaction settles with treatment and avoidance. Where an allergic sensitisation is confirmed, avoidance is lifelong for that substance.

Precautions & aftercare
Read these before booking — some affect what you should stop beforehand.
- Bring the actual products you use — packaging and ingredient lists help identify the culprit
- Do not continue using a suspected product 'to see if it settles'
- Avoid scratching; broken skin invites secondary infection
- Widespread rash, facial swelling or any breathing difficulty needs urgent medical attention, not a routine appointment
- Tell the doctor about any topical medicine you have applied — these are themselves a common cause
Frequently asked questions
Contact Dermatitis — your questions answered
Often the pattern tells us — where the rash is and what shape it takes. Where it is not clear, a systematic review of exposures usually narrows it down, and patch testing can be discussed.
