Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Subscribe to New Research on Allergic Contact Dermatitis

A contact dermatitis due to allergic sensitization to various substances. These substances subsequently produce inflammatory reactions in the skin of those who have acquired hypersensitivity to them as a result of prior exposure.
