Is Contact Dermatitis Contagious?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Contact, Contagious, Dermatitis
I have a really small area of my cheek and have been putting hydrocortisone cream on it. I’m just wondering if my 8 month old will get it, since she’s always climbing on me and touching my face? Anyone know anything about contact dermatitis?

No, contact dermatitis is usually a swelling/irritation of the skin that was caused by touching something you’re allergic to. For instance, a chemical or metal that you’re sensitive to…like a chemical in hand soap, that kind of thing. People with sensitive skin usually get it and need to use mild, natural.

Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin. There’s no way to know what’s causing it without a doctor visit and there for no way to tell if it’s contagious or not.
