Hi everyone,

I got contact dermatitis Did anyone else have this happen to them? Yes, been to 3 different doctors - all concur contact dermatitis. Been on steroids 4 days now and it's slowly going away...

If you have had this happen how long before gone?

No, but how did you get it? What irritates your skin?

Never had allergies before to anything.. It's a mystery .. Changed soaps and changed foods..

I was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis about a year ago. I take Zyrtec every night which helps a lot vs. daytime meds that just make me sleepy. Sorry you have to go through this, definitely not fun.

Thanks KendiSue,

Was yours due to surgery? Or after surgery? Also did you develop allergies after surgery?

Thanks

0007Sleever,

I had surgery in Jan. 2013 so I had the Dermatitis & allergies before surgery. However, I did not always have them so I totally understand how they can pop-up out of the blue. My Dermatitis did seem to get worse for the month or so after surgery. I think my system was so thrown-off by all the things surgery, that the Dermatitis was affected too. Happily, it has gotten better. But, I do try to prevent breakouts & allergy agitation by taking the Zrytec every night.

So I'm so excited! Went to Dermatologist no infection She says no worries it's contact dermatitis for sure will prescribe appropriate medications. Very happy not anything bad Going back next week for a check up....
