Eczematous Eruptions

Contact Dermatitis
Delayed hypersensitivity reaction
Well demarcated plaques of erythema and edema
May have some vesicles (acutely)
Subacute/Chronic-may have some plaques of erythema, dry scales, or desquamation
May have plaques of lichenification
Treatment-to remove offending agent if able to isolate

Contact Dermatitis
Topical steroids in mild cases
Severe cases may require systemic corticosteroids for 2 weeks (tapered)
Burrows solution on wet dressing may be helpful

Atopic Dermatitis
Type I Hypersensitivity reaction
Lesions may be present for months to years
Poorly defined erythematous patches
Chronically the lesions may have some lichenification with excoriation marks
Fissured areas with painful areas are possible

Atopic Dermatitis
May have associated allergic rhinitis or asthma
Topical anti itch lotions are helpful
Patients may need low potency steroid ointment at times
Wet dressings
UVA and UVB light may be helpful for chronic and subacute

Dyshidrosis
Sweating does not play a role

Later phases scaling and painful fissures and crusting
80% on hands and feet
