Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by direct skin contact with a substance to which the person is allergic. Read more: Why does Australia have so much skin cancer? Hint: it's not because of an ozone hole.
The reaction is often delayed by hours, so it can be difficult to determine exactly what caused the reaction. It should also die down by itself over a few days, as long as the allergen is no longer on the skin. Contact allergies can develop suddenly after years of exposure to an allergen. Jewellery containing nickel, fragrances in lotions, household cleaners, preservatives in hair products, and latex in gloves or condoms are common sources.
A dermatologist can carry out a patch test to determine whether a substance is the allergen, by applying it to a small patch of skin. Active dermatitis is treated with emollient moisturisers and steroid creams, or with oral steroids or drugs to suppress the immune system if very severe.

Further episodes can be prevented by becoming aware of the sources of the allergen, reading labels carefully, and using gloves to handle allergen-containing products. Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema often just called eczema is very common in children from three months old onwards, but appears in adults too, often with hay fever and asthma.
Atopic dermatitis features patches of intensely itchy red skin, sometimes with blisters and weeping patches. Over time the skin becomes thickened and rough from frequent scratching and rubbing. Childhood atopic dermatitis tends to improve as the child grows up, but may continue. Far less commonly, atopic dermatitis can also appear first in adulthood. Atopic dermatitis is a disease of the immune system , in which structural defects in the skin barrier make it easier for irritants to penetrate into the skin.
This throws the delicate balance of the microbial community on our skin out of whack, causing the immune system to go into overdrive.

In very severe cases, immunosuppressant drugs are prescribed. Ongoing control of atopic dermatitis often includes using emollient moisturisers to combat dry skin, keeping cool, avoiding hot water or irritants, and reducing allergens such as dust mites in the home. This drug blocks a specific cell receptor to prevent immune cells from detecting two overactive inflammatory proteins. Atopic dermatitis can have a big impact on quality of life, due to insomnia from the constant itchiness, and restrictions on clothing, body products, pets or activities.

Its presence on prominent parts of the body like the face and hands can also reduce self-esteem. Evening sedatives to improve sleep and psychotherapy can help reduce the impact on everyday life. Psoriasis is another chronic immune disorder. It can start at any age and can be lifelong, and is usually present as red plaques raised or thickened skin with well-defined edges and silvery-white scales, ranging from a few millimetres to several centimetres across. The overactive inflammation can also damage the joints and lead to psoriatic arthritis.

Often the plaques feel itchy or sore , and because psoriasis is long-lasting and can appear prominently on highly visible parts of the body, it often comes with severe psychological effects. Psoriasis is caused by too many new skin cells being produced and moving up to the surface of the skin too quickly.
It can be triggered or aggravated by a streptococcal infection such as tonsillitis, smoking, hormonal changes such as menopause, and some medications. Genetics play an important role in susceptibility to psoriasis and also in what treatments are effective. Chronic plaque psoriasis , the most common form, can be very resistant to treatment. Small areas can be treated with creams containing steroids, coal tar, or vitamin D. If a lot of the body is covered by plaques, oral immunosuppressant drugs are used, or phototherapy , which uses targeted UV light to destroy over-active immune cells.
These treatments can usually improve the plaques, but it can be very difficult to clear it completely. Tinea, or ringworm, is not caused by worms at all but a fungal infection. Tinea pedis , on the foot, is an important type because spores can live for weeks in communal showers and changing rooms, making it a common source of infection that can then spread to the trunk, arms and legs tinea corporis or groin tinea cruris , or jock itch.
Cats, dogs and other animals are a common source of ringworm fungus, but many types can be spread between people too. Typically, tinea spreads in a circular or oval patch, often healing in the middle so that it appears to be a red scaly ring of infection. Sometimes it can also become a fungal abscess that looks like a boil, feels boggy, and has pustules. Tinea is diagnosed by microscopic examination and laboratory culture of skin scrapings.
An Overview of Cyanosis
It can become chronic in the warm, moist folds of the body. I remember living for shock value I got from certain traditional family members reacting to my colored hair, or seeing my first large tattoo. Now that I'm nearing my 30's, people have seen my style evolve and change over the years, and most of them are not concerned about my adult appearance.
I've been feeling this too lately, though with tattoos. I finally got Husband to okay a tattoo I've wanted for a while, but now I don't really know if I want it anymore. I remember fantasizing about my tattoos when I was younger, waiting for the perfect time to get inked and loving the whole process. Now I'm not sure that a new one is really right for me, and that's weird! This was so me. I got two back to back tattoos when I was Then life happened and even though I wanted more They truly are addicting! I just could never part with the cash that was needed to get them.
The mature rational me said "That's a car payment! When I met my now husband 7 years ago Also tattooed we discussed over and over and over the different "Couples" tattoos we would get.

Finally last year I broke down and got two more tattoos. One was as a donation to a Humane Society and is a representation of my love of animal welfare and rescue. The problem is it is the first tattoo I have that cant be hidden easily. And it really threw me off for months. I had buyers remorse almost immediately. Turns out the new 40 something me wasn't the same as the 20's and 30's me.
I have made peace with my arm tattoo and it hasn't affected my personal career at all to my knowledge. But I truly don't know that I will get any more. For me, the impetus was increasing numbers of grey hairs. I figured, if I'm going to dye it anyway and I am, sorry, not willing to embrace the grey for another two decades or so I might as well have fun with it. So I went from my natural colour to bleach-blonde, and then when I got bored and broke of bleach…? Might as well use that blank canvas and go purple.

I'll likely get bored of this too. For me, it's something fun, but I can't say it's tied to my identity in one way or another. I was literally thinking about how I am going to dye my hair purple or blue or pink as soon as I quit my job when I saw this article! I am 30 and am going to back to school to change careers from something really conservative and corporate to something much more flexible.
And I realized it meant I can dye my hair a crazy color, which I was never allowed to do as a teen. I was just thinking to myself "That's a lot of change, am I having an early mid-life crisis? I always wanted to dye my hair crazy colors. I was so jealous of my blonde friends who could dye their hair with Kool-Aid doesn't work on almost-black hair.
My mother refused to buy me hair dye.
