Contact Dermatitis (Allergic)

Topics Containing This Multimedia

  • Contact Dermatitis
  • Skin manifestations of allergic contact dermatitis range from erythema through vesiculation to edema with bullae, ulceration, or both. Changes often occur in a pattern or distribution that suggests a specific exposure; in this image, linear streaking on an extremity suggests plant contact (eg, poison ivy or poison sumac).
