Any skin\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Inflammation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inflammation<\/a>\u00a0may be considered dermatitis. Substances that irritate the skin,\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Allergies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allergic reactions<\/a>\u00a0to drugs, detergents, and other chemicals are all culprits. Dermatitis can affect almost any area of the body. Redness, scaling, and thickening of the skin may occur. Pinpointing the cause of the problem is the first step toward alleviating the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Dermatitis is not an age specific disorder and can appear on any one and can appear anywhere on the body, although as mentioned above, it is most often seen on legs, feet, arms and ears. There are often predispositions to this disorder. It is seen in heredity and can be traced through family history.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/about\/Dermatitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dermatitis<\/a>\u00a0is divided into different classifications. Acute and chronic dermatitis are differentiated by a time period as well as symptoms. Acute dermatitis is seen with erythema and\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Edema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">edema<\/a>\u00a0in papules, vesicles and sometimes large blisters. Chronic\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Dermatitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dermatitis<\/a>\u00a0is seen as lichenification, scaling and fissures. There is a thickening of the dermal layer. Contact dermatitis is another classification, which is skin irritation due to exogenous agents such as water and other fluids, abrasives such as cleaning products, chemicals such as acids and alkalis as well as solvents and detergents.<\/p>\n<p>Herbs that are beneficial for dermatitis and\u00a0<em>herbal remedies for dermatitis<\/em>\u00a0(if you are not allergic to them) include\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burdock<\/a>\u00a0root,\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chamomile<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cedarwood<\/a>, dandelion, marigold, red clover, thyme, and\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">verbena<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A study published in the British Medical Journal Lancet showed a significant improvement in\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Eczema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eczema<\/a>\u00a0when patients took high doses of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Evening Primrose<\/a>\u00a0Oil<\/strong>\u00a0(EPO) in capsule form.

The fluid contained in the leaves has been used for centuries to treat\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Burns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burns<\/a>\u00a0and minor wounds. Today, aloe gel is used frequently as an ingredient in cosmetics, creams, ointments and suntan lotions. A study published in 1996 in Tropical Medicine and International Health found that aloe vera was very effective in the treatment of psoriasis. By the end of the 16-week study, a cream with aloe vera extract caused a significant clearing of psoriasis in 25 of 30 patients, compared to two out of 30 with the placebo. However, a study published in May 2005 in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology found that the effect of commercial aloe vera gel on stable plaque\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Psoriasis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">psoriasis<\/a>\u00a0was modest and not much better than placebo.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/recommends\/AppleciderVinegar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple cider vinegar<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and many different types of vinegar (derived from dates, figs, etc.) have been used by many ancient cultures for medicinal purposes.\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/AppleciderVinegar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple cider vinegar<\/a>\u00a0has been used throughout the years as a disinfectant or soothing agent. The\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Psoriasis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Psoriasis<\/a>\u00a0Foundation hears from people who apply apple cider vinegar to their skin as a treatment for psoriasis. People add it to the bath, mix it with a moisturizer, soak fingernails and toenails in it, and apply it directly to the skin with cotton balls or pads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capsaicin<\/strong>, a natural ingredient found in\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cayenne<\/a>\u00a0peppers, has been shown in some studies to work on redness, scaling and\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Pruritis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">itching<\/a>\u00a0of the skin and is considered one of many effective herbal remedies for dermatitis. Researchers have shown that capsaicin interrupts the action of substance P, (a molecule which affects how the brain recognizes pain and itch sensations) at the nerve ending. In two separate studies with psoriasis patients, 0.025% capsaicin cream used topically was effective in decreasing scaling and redness. The main side effect was a short-lived burning sensation. Several studies indicate that topical capsaicin products can also help reduce\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/JointPain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint pain<\/a>\u00a0associated with psoriatic\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Arthritis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arthritis<\/a>. Capsaicin can cause a severe burning sensation if it comes in contact with the eyes, nasal passages or mucous membranes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emu oil<\/strong>\u00a0is reported to be helpful for dermatitis suffers of all kinds, as this oil has a protective and softening effect on the skin. The exact mechanism by which emu oil works is not known.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oats and oat extracts<\/strong>\u00a0have been used for centuries as soothing topical agents. Oat plant derivatives have been used to manage dry,\u00a0<a href=\"\/about\/Pruritis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">itchy skin<\/a>\u00a0conditions. Many bath products include colloidal oatmeal as the active ingredient. You can make your own oatmeal bath. Combine one cup oats, one quarter cup dried milk and two tablespoons\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apricot kernel<\/a>\u00a0oil. Pulverize the oats and dry milk in a food processor or blender. Gradually mix in the oil. Place the mixture in a cotton bag, sock or handkerchief and put in the tub while filling.
