Hea teada
Kui dermatiidi põhjuseks on välisteguri otsene toime nahale, nimetatakse haigust kontaktdermatiidiks.
Eristatakse lihtsat ja allergilist kontaktdermatiiti. Lihtsa kontaktdermatiidi korral tekib põletik otseselt ärritajaga kokkupuutunud nahal. Allergilise kontaktdermatiidi korral tekivad organismis antikehad ehk vastuained ärritavale ainele.
RHK-10 põhjal tehakse vahet ka allergilisel kontaktdermatiidil ja ärritaval kontaktdermatiidil. [06.07.2020]
Certain chemicals, such as lime or nitric acid, produce inflammation in all persons on first contact. Other agents, ordinarily innocuous (e.g., cosmetics, soaps, clothing), cause inflammation after susceptible persons acquire sensitivity by repeated exposure. Prevention of contact dermatitis rests upon the identification of the particular irritant and its subsequent avoidance.
Contact dermatitis usually does not spread from one person to another, nor does it spread beyond the area exposed to the irritant unless affected skin comes into contact with another part of the body.
Unspecified contact dermatitis due to drugs in contact with skin
