Irritant Contact Dermatitis: Mechanisms to Repair
Author(s): Cheryl Lee EbertingCheryl Lee Eberting
Irritant contact dermatitis is an extremely common condition resulting from epidermal exposure to any number of skin irritants.

By addressing these problems simultaneously, and through irritant avoidance, the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis can be maximized.
