Symptoms That Indicate Dermatitis?
Dermatitis refers to a skin condition that can result in visible and sometimes painful rashes. The term dermatitis is used to generically refer to a set of different skin problems. The exact causes of the different forms of dermatitis are not all fully understood. It is also important to understand that dermatitis indicates a specific skin condition that is different from dry skin or other problems that can be caused by environmental factors or poor hygiene. Most of the treatments for the symptoms of dermatitis are topical creams. A few cases might require the use of anti-inflammatory medications or other prescription drugs. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common forms of dermatitis. This condition is also known as eczema and it affects a significant number of people around the world. The symptoms are red rashes, red bumps and flaky skin. These areas can all become itchy and can potentially start to bleed if an individual compulsively scratches the area. Atopic dermatitis can be caused by a genetic disposition to the condition. It can also be triggered by allergens or environmental factors such as dust. Atopic dermatitis can form at any time and in any location on the body. Contact dermatitis results from direct skin contact with a substance that causes irritation or an allergic reaction. Very minor cases can result in a rash or some itching. Serious reactions can cause blisters, scales and oozing sores. The most severe cases of contact dermatitis can result in unbearable pain and other reactions in the body that require immediate medical attention. Contact dermatitis is not permanent and can usually be cured by removing the irritant from the environment. Stasis dermatitis most often occurs on the legs and feet. The symptoms of stasis dermatitis include red or purple patches of skin, blisters and sometimes open sores. These lesions usually appear on the lower legs below the knee and can form on the top of the feet around the ankles. The condition is associated with poor blood circulation or obstructions in the veins of the legs. Stasis dermatitis can be treated with topical creams or with leg compression therapy.

What is muscollum?
Within each "colony" or patch, one or two lesions will develop into the large, discrete, red, angry stage three lesions, and it is these lesions that seem to control the others within the area. Sometimes we call these master lesions "mothers" or "queen bee" lesions. You must get rid of these particular lesions specifically in order to be free of the molluscum contagiosum outbreak. If one of these mature "mother" lesions are on the scalp and covered with hair, it can make things even more difficult. Many times molluscum contagiosum virus takes hold in skin already affected by psoriasis or eczema. These skin lesions can itch, causing the host (patient) to scratch them, thereby facilitating the molluscum's spread. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a pox virus. Molluscum contagiosum is only a skin condition. It is not systemic, so pills cannot help. It spreads by physical contact. Parents are likely to notice that an initial outbreak on the inner thigh of a child soon spreads to the mirror image area of the other leg where one leg contacts the other while sleeping. Once you stop the infection it is unlikely to come back unless the patient comes into contact with it again.
