Dermatitis
Most cases of dermatitis are caused by allergies. The allergy causes scaling, flaking, inflammation and color changes on the skin. Most of the common skin allergies are due to contact with perfumes, rubber, medications, poisonous plants and certain types of metal. Stress and tension can cause a case of dermatitis to become more severe. There are four types of dermatitis that are fairly common. Atopic dermatitis is a hereditary condition usually seen in infancy. Nummular dermatitis is characterized by round lesions found on the arms and legs. Dermatitis herpeteformes is associated with immune disorders. And seborrhea is the form of dermatitis that can cause dandruff on the scalp.
