Surprising TRIGGER Of Contact Dermatitis 😲 #shorts

Ever heard of disperse dyes? And did you know that they are a common cause of clothing-related contact dermatitis?

Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu lectured on contact allergic dermatitis at the Eczema Expo 2023 hosted by the National Eczema Association + I found his presentation so valuable that I invited him on the show to share the ins + outs on the topic.

We discuss:

- What is contact dermatitis (and is it genetic)?
- Contact dermatitis compared to food or environmental allergies
- Which antihistamines don't work for contact dermatitis
- Top contact dermatitis allergies
- The antibiotic that's a common allergy
- If you're reactive to medical gloves…
- Crazy “hidden” sources of contact dermatitis allergens
- Testing for contact dermatitis (beware of your results)
