A type of skin irritation that can be triggered by specific substances, allergens, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors. If you have a skin concern and are feeling generally unwell, with or without fever, you should seek care with another provider. Symptoms may include:

• Dry, cracked and itchy skin
• Red and swollen patches of skin
• White flaky patches of skin and/or yellow crust on the top of oily skin
• Mild to intense itching
• Skin discolouration (lighter skin turning red, and darker skin turning a shade darker, purple or grey)
• If allergic dermatitis, the skin rash may appear hours or days after being exposed to an irritant or allergen
• Found on a localized area of skin or all over the body
