Dermatitis is a general term for skin inflammation that causes redness, itching, dryness, and irritation. There are several types, each with different causes and treatments.

Common Types of Dermatitis

* Atopic Dermatitis – The most common form of eczema. It causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin and is often linked to allergies, asthma, or a family history of eczema.

* Contact Dermatitis – Occurs when the skin reacts to an irritant or allergen.

* Irritant contact dermatitis: Caused by soaps, detergents, chemicals, or frequent handwashing.

* Allergic contact dermatitis: Triggered by allergens such as nickel, fragrances, poison ivy, preservatives, or certain cosmetics.

* Seborrheic Dermatitis – Affects oily areas such as the scalp, face, eyebrows, ears, and chest. It causes dandruff, flaky scales, redness, and itching.

* Nummular Dermatitis – Characterized by round, coin-shaped patches of itchy, inflamed skin, often on the arms and legs.

* Dyshidrotic Eczema – Causes small, intensely itchy blisters on the hands, fingers, and feet. Flare-ups may be triggered by stress, allergies, sweating, or metal exposure.

* Stasis Dermatitis – Develops on the lower legs due to poor circulation and chronic venous insufficiency. Symptoms include swelling, discoloration, itching, and thickened skin.

* Neurodermatitis – Results from repeated scratching or rubbing, leading to thickened, leathery patches of skin.

* Perioral Dermatitis – Appears as a rash with small bumps around the mouth, nose, or eyes. It can be associated with topical steroid use, certain cosmetics, or fluoride toothpaste.

Common Symptoms
* Itching
* Dryness
* Redness
* Rash
* Flaking or scaling
* Swelling
* Cracking skin
* Blisters or oozing (in some types)

Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Frankincense, and Clove essential oils, along with Arnica and Comfrey, may help support dermatitis-prone skin by reducing inflammation, calming irritation, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits.

* Essential oils (especially lavender and frankincense) help soothe redness, itching, and irritation, while supporting skin healing. Tea tree and clove offer antimicrobial support but must be heavily diluted due to potential irritation.

Arnica Extract
* Helps reduce inflammation and tenderness
* Supports healing of irritated, stressed skin
* Best used on unbroken skin only

Comfrey Extract
* Contains allantoin, which supports skin repair
* Helps soothe rough, inflamed, or irritated areas
* Supports overall skin barrier recovery

Folliculitis is inflammation or infection of hair follicles, and it can look like small pimples, bumps, or pustules around hair follicles. Here are the main types:

Types of Folliculitis

* Bacterial Folliculitis
The most common type, usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It appears as red, pus-filled bumps that may be itchy or tender.

* Yeast Folliculitis
Caused by an overgrowth of yeast (fungus) in hair follicles. It often shows as itchy, acne-like breakouts on the chest, back, or face.

* Hot Tub Folliculitis
Caused by Pseudomonas bacteria found in poorly sanitized hot tubs, pools, or spas. Leads to itchy, red bumps that appear after water exposure.

* Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
Not a true infection—this occurs when shaved hairs curl back into the skin, causing irritation, bumps, and inflammation (common in shaving areas like the face or bikini line).

* Eosinophilic Folliculitis
A chronic inflammatory type often seen in people with weakened immune systems. Causes very itchy, recurrent bumps.

* Gram-negative Folliculitis
Can develop after long-term antibiotic use for acne, leading to resistant bacterial overgrowth and worsening breakouts.

* Staphylococcal Folliculitis
A shallow infection of the follicle that causes small red or white-headed pimples around hair follicles.

Common Symptoms

* Small red bumps or pimples
* Pus-filled lesions
* Itching or burning
* Tender or sore skin
* Clusters of breakouts around hair follicles
