Skin Irritation

There are many causes for the skin to be irritated and to be become inflamed. The skin can resists irritation, but some individuals and especially fair-skinned people, postpartum females, older patients with drier skin, and those with existing dermatitis, have an enhanced sensitivity due to genetics or contact with toxic substances, abrasion, internal metabolic imbalance or endogenous eczema. One needs to always identify the cause which will take much time to examine foods & drinks, sun exposure, dehydration, detergents and over washing.
