DESCRIPTION
Dermatitis is a general term for any type of inflammation of the skin that produces scaling, flaking, thickening, color changes, and, often, itching. Types of dermatitis include atopic dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. The distinction between the use of dermatitis and eczema to describe skin disorders can be confusing. Often the terms are used interchangeably, although many people use the term eczema to refer specifically to atopic dermatitis. The inflammation of the skin that accompanies dermatitis (or eczema) produces scaling, flaking, thickening, weeping, crusting, color changes, and, often, itching.
TYPES OF DERMATITIS
ALLERGIC or CONTACT DERMATITIS
Many cases of dermatitis are the result of allergies. This type of condition is called allergic or contact dermatitis. It may be caused by contact with perfumes, cosmetics, rubber, medicated creams, ointments, plants such as poison ivy, and/or metals or metal alloys such as gold, silver, and nickel found in jewelry or zippers. Some people with dermatitis are sensitive to sunlight. Whatever the irritant, if the skin remains in constant contact with it, the dermatitis is likely to spread and become more severe. Stress, especially chronic tension, can cause or exacerbate dermatitis.

ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Atopic dermatitis (AD); also known as atopic eczema or, in children, infantile eczema, is a condition known to affect allergy-prone individuals. It is a genetically determined (hereditary) form of the condition that usually becomes apparent in infancy. It typically appears on the face, in the bends of the elbows, and behind the knees and is very itchy. In children, it usually appears in the first year of life, and almost always in the first 5 years. Over half of the infants that have this condition get better by the age of 18 months. Triggers vary from person to person, but tend to include cold or hot weather, a dry atmosphere, and exposure to allergens, stress, and infections such as colds. Often, other family members have histories of allergies, hayfever, asthma or atopic dermatitis, it is more likely that a child will be diagnosed with AD. The clinical picture varies greatly depending on the age of the patient, the course and duration of the disease.
DERMATITIS HERPETIFORMIS
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a very itchy type of dermatitis associated with intestinal and immune disorders. This form of dermatitis may be triggered by the consumption of dairy products and/or gluten.
NUMMULAR DERMATITIS
Nummular ("coin-shaped") dermatitis is a chronic condition in which round, coin-shaped, scaling lesions appear usually appear on the limbs, but the face and trunk may also be involved. It may be caused by an allergy to nickel, and is often associated with dry skin. It seems to appear in a cold and dry environment and is aggravated by excessive bathing and local irritants such as wool. Often, an infection by staphylococci have been found.
ECZEMA
Eczema is a term sometimes used interchangeably with dermatitis, although some authorities define it as a specific type of dermatitis distinguished by the presence of fluid-filled blisters that weep, ooze, and crust over.
SEBORRHEA DERMATITIS
Seborrhea is a form of dermatitis that is most commonly affects the scalp and/or face. Seborrhea comes from the word sebum, which is the natural oil produced in the sebaceous glands that flow into the hair follicle. Seborrheic dermatitis has been called a more extensive and severe form of dandruff because there is no clear division between the two. Flaking, redness, and itching are more severe and can appear on the scalp, in the eyebrows, around the nose and on the cheeks, behind the ears and even on the chest and around the groin. It may interfere with the nutrition of the hair, resulting in partial baldness. Some cases of dandruff are caused by the disease. Sebum may also accumulate in the ducts of the glands, causing the glands to become distended with undischarged sebum, and form a small hard body called a whitehead. When the sebum in the mouth of the duct becomes oxidized (darkens when exposed to air), this is known as a blackhead (comedo).
The treatment for seborrheic dermatitis is similar to dandruff, although a shampoo of coal tar seems to have a better effect on the scalp. If the problem is very severe you should seek medical advice as a course on steroids may be required to clear it up.
Seborrheic appears to be heredity, if some relative has it the chances are that is what you may have.
PSORIASIS DERMATITIS
Psoriasis is usually a more severe problem than the above and affects about 3% of the population. It is not contagious but can be passed on through the family. It is usually seen as silvery flaky scales on the scalp or anywhere on the body. The more serious cases of psoriasis should be referred to medical care for treatment. Health care providers often prescribe steroid creams to help cure the problem. People have recently been praising the use of evening primrose oil to try to treat the problem. Women taking this as a daily supplement have reported excellent improvement in their skin as well as in their general well being.
CAUSES
Several underlying problems can lead to eczema.
Hypochlorhydria (low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach) has been cited, as has a condition known as "leaky gut syndrome," in which the intestines become porous and allow tiny particles of undigested food to enter the bloodstream, provoking allergic reactions.
Candidiasis, an overgrowth of yeast in the system, food allergies, and a genetically based weakness in the enzyme delta-6-desaturase (which converts essential fatty acids into anti-inflammatory prostaglandins) are other possible causes.
Many cases of dermatitis are simply the result of allergies. This type of condition is called allergic or contact dermatitis. Skin inflammation may be link to and can be caused by allergies to metals, metal alloys such as nickel, gold, silver found in jewelry or zippers, rubber, latex, cosmetics, perfumes, medicated creams, ointments, sunlight, hair dyes, candida albicans, chlamydia, plants such as poison ivy, STD's, and so forth. Chemicals used in soaps, laundry detergents can cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals and bubble bath products may cause dermatitis and may even irritate the tissues of the lower urinary tract sufficiently to cause bloody urine. This is most likely to occur if you soak in treated bathwater for too long.
Dermatitis symptoms can become aggravated when the scalp and the skin of the body is exposed to dust, UV light, harsh chemical based shampoos, hair dyes, and so forth.
Dermatitis can also be triggered or be exacerbated by trauma, illness, overactive oil glands, food allergies, stress (especially chronic tension), excessive perspiration, hormonal imbalances, improper carbohydrate consumption, and the consumption of sugar. Deficiencies of nutrients such as the B-complex vitamins, essential fatty acids, and selenium have been linked to dandruff as well.
Seasonal changes affect the occurrence of seborrheic dermatitis. Dermatitis can be worse during the fall and winter months when the air is cold and dry and better in the summer for some individuals. This has been thought to be caused by changes in humidity. Some people have found that sun exposure helps to clear up dermatitis, but others find that it seems to make the problem worse.
Dermatitis can be due to a growth of yeast in the skin and scalp, which is thought to be instrumental in the development of scaling and scalp irritation. This small skin fungus, previously known as Pityrosporum ovale, now renamed Malassezia furfur, may also be a cause of itching scalp and dermatitis. The fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with seborrheic dermatitis. The fungus likes fat, and is found most on skin surfaces with plenty of sebaceous glands such as on the scalp, face and upper part of the body. When Malassezia furfur grows too rapidly, the naturally renewal of cells is disturbed and dermatitis appears with itching.
A large preponderance of males have seborrheic dermatitis, which may suggest some role of androgen hormones in this disorder.
Whatever the irritant, if the skin remains in contact with it, the dermatitis is likely to spread and become severe.
TREATMENT
Dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin, covers a range of skin conditions characterized by redness, flaking, irritation, scaling or blisters. Dermatitis results when the body is not eliminating toxins efficiently. However, the exact cause of the various conditions and the courses they take can differ. For example, eczema begins with itchiness and seeping blisters that can become red, tough and flaky. In psoriasis, patches of small white scales develop. Both eczema and psoriasis are hereditary, but are affected by dietary factors and allergies, too. In addition, exposure to chemicals, stress, illness and medication can all contribute to dermatitis. Since the symptoms of the various types of dermatitis are quite similar, diagnosing the rashes is sometimes difficult. While dermatitis is not easy to cure, the goal of treatment focuses on reducing the severity and the frequency of outbreaks. A health care provider can help identify dermatitis, while herbal and natural remedies, proper skin care, homeopathy, a low-fat diet and stress reduction can help ease the uncomfortable symptoms it causes.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Antimicrobial measures may be necessary if incessant scratching or rawness of the skin allows bacteria to enter and cause an infection on top of the inflammation. If any pus forms or oozes, add a disinfecting herb, such as Calendula or Goldenseal powder, to the topical applications (lotions and creams), and take vitamin C.
PRACTICE PROPER SKIN CARE
Give your skin what it needs: In the summer, use water-based lotions and, in winter, salves with a high fat or oil content. Also, do not take baths that are too hot or soak for too long, as this robs the skin of natural emollients and leads to dryness. Moisturizing baths with a few teaspoons of an oatmeal powder or olive oil can help to reduce dry skin and inflammation. Make sure that cleansing lotions have a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Many soaps are highly alkaline and ruin the skin's protective layer of acids. Improve your diet and supplement important nutrients. Proper nutrition and dietary supplements can provide the building blocks to rebuilding new, healthy skin and a strong, protective immune system.
HERBS
Try botanical remedies such as Calendula, Licorice and Coleus tinctures for anti-inflammatory results. Dandelion, Burdock and Sarsaparilla tinctures improve bowel function.
Poultices of Chaparral or Thyme may be used as a hair rinse for scalp irritations. Note: Chapparal is recommended for external use only.
The following herbs can be used in tea or capsule form: Dandelion, Goldenseal, Myrrh, Pau D'Arco, and Red Clover. Alternate them for best results. Caution: Do not take Goldenseal on a daily basis for more than a week at a time, and do not use it during pregnancy. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or glaucoma, use it only under a health care provider's supervision.
TANNINS FOR WEEPING LESIONS
Weeping dermatitis lesions may be dried and healed by applications of tannins. The bark and leaves of both alder and oak contain these anti-inflammatories, which help to relieve symptoms and ease itching by drying the pus and tightening the skin. Pour 1 cup of water over 1 tablespoon of alder or oak bark or leaves, and bring to a boil; steep for 10 minutes. Next, strain and cool the mixture. Dip a cloth in it and place it on the affected areas until symptoms abate.
To relieve itching and promote healing, mix Goldenseal root powder with Vitamin E Oil, then add a little honey until it is the consistency of a loose pasted. Apply this mixture to the affected area.
Gotu Kola contains powerful antioxidants and promotes the formation of lipids and proteins that are essential for healthy skin.
Grapeseed Extract Contains oligomeric proanthocyanadins (OPCs), which reduce inflammation and rid the body of toxins.
Oregon Grape root detoxifies the body and reduces inflammation.
Wild Pansy (Viola Tricolor) can be used externally to treat bruises and various skin ailments. It is especially good against psoriasis and acne and can be used on eczema and cradle cap in infants.
Those with seborrheic dermatitis can benefit from taking Dandelion, Goldenseal, and Red Clover. Caution: Do not take Goldenseal on a daily basis for more than one week at a time, and do not use it during pregnancy. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or glaucoma, use it only under a health care provider's supervision.
White Oak bark tea can be used as a rinse for treating seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and to stop hair loss.
Hop root decoction can be used for treating seborrheic dermatitis. This can be made by boiling 2 tablespoons of hop roots to a pint of water and applied externally as a hair tonic. An ointment can be made by boiling 2 parts of Jimson weed (stramonium) and 1 part hops, in lard (or another ointment base such as olive oil). This is applied to the scalp for relief of skin irritation and itching skin.
Black Indian hemp juice made from the fresh leaves can be applied to the scalp to treat scalp dermatitis.
Nettle water is an excellent wash used to clear up irritated skin. Boiling the entire plant in a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar makes a good hair lotion. Combing the hair with expressed Nettle juice is supposed to stimulate hair growth.
Make a decoction of an ounce dried Burdock root to a pint and half of water. Boil this down to 1 pint. Take a wine glassful dose 3 to 4 times daily. This decoction has been used as a wash for scaly skin disorders. The use of this remedy must be continue over a relatively long time for it to be effectual.
An infusion of fresh Rosemary made with boiling water and allowed to cooled until warm, makes a good final rinse to help clear the scalp.
One ounce each of Rosemary and Sage infused for 24 hours in a pint of water makes a pleasant hair tonic that can be used on dandruff. After infusion, strain the liquid and add a teaspoon of powdered Borax.
Soak 2 tablespoons Fenugreek seeds in water overnight. In the morning grind into a fine paste. Apply all over scalp and leave for 1/2 hour. Wash with Shikakai or mild shampoo.
Using Lime Juice for washing hair is often beneficial.
The use of curd kept over 2 to 3 days, Lime Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar and Indian Gooseberry (Amla) juice also helps to disperse dandruff.
Boil a handful of Neem leaves in a quart of water. Rinse hair with cooled and filtered solution.
Massage your hair with warm Coconut Oil and apply the juice of 2 Lemons, steam your hair and leave on oil for about 2 hours. Shampoo with a mild shampoo. This should be done 2-3 times a week.
Other herbs that can be used for dandruff treatment are Agave, Butternut, Chamomile, Cleavers, English Elm, Maidenhair Fern, Figwort, Grapevine Root, English Ivy, Olive, Peach Tree Leaves, Periwinkle, Sage, Sanicle, Soap Bark, Yucca (Soapweed), English Walnut, and Willow.
HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS
A nutrient-rich diet is essential for a healthy scalp and skin. Eat a diet consisting of 50 to 75 percent raw vegetables and fresh fruits, in particular, leafy green vegetables, carrots and salads, and whole grains. Eat soured products such as yogurt. A diet should be high in essential fatty acids, such as flax seed, fish or evening primrose oils which can improve skin. Reduce common food allergens such as wheat, corn, dairy, dairy, sugar, citrus, caffeine, chocolate, tomatoes and potatoes, as well as chemicals, preservatives and flavorings. Supplement important nutrients such as beta carotene at 25,000-50,000 IU per day and zinc at 30-60 mg per day may help improve dermatitis over time. These nutrients are necessary to form new skin cells and prevent the entry of bacteria, fungi, and pathogens into the cells.
Add brown rice and millet to your diet.
Avoid fried foods and hydrogenated and animal fats, strawberries, sugar, white flour, chocolate, nuts, and processed food.
Do not eat foods containing raw eggs, which contain avidin, a protein that binds biotin and prevents it from being absorbed. Biotin is needed for skin and scalp disorders.
Sensitivity to gluten is widespread, although it is often unrecognized. Research has shown that people suffering from virtually all skin disorders do better if they eliminate foods containing gluten and all dairy products from the diet. Try a gluten-restricted (gluten-free) diet for 6 weeks, then add gluten-containing foods back to the diet one at a time, and see if the condition changes. A gluten-free diet is often of therapeutic benefit in controlling dermatitis. See Celiac Disease for recommended diet.
Follow a fasting program once a month.
For dermatitis of the scalp, make a strong, concentrated tea of Rosemary, Comfrey, Tea Tree Oil (add the Tea Tree Oil after the tea is made), dried Nettles, and Witch Hazel, and apply it to the scalp after shampooing with a fragrance-free shampoo. Leave it on the scalp for 10 or 15 minutes.
Tea Tree Oil destroys bacteria and fungi and prevents germs from penetrating inflamed skin. Add 8-10 drops of tea tree oil to 2-3 cups of warm water, dip a cloth in it and place the cloth on the affected area for 15 minutes. Repeat many times daily.
Massage Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic Cream into the skin after each contact with water or irritants.
Keep the colon clean. Growing evidence supports a link between skin conditions and bowel function. An intestinal ailment may allow incompletely digested compounds, proteins or toxins to be absorbed by the blood, where they can trigger inflammatory reactions. Bacteria, aspirin, medications, and chemicals may disrupt the normal intestinal absorption process and contribute to skin disorders. Thus, treating bowel function can improve dermatitis, even in those without obvious digestive complaints. Employ an intestinal detoxification plan for several months by supplementing acidophilus, lactobacillus and fiber and eating a whole-food diet. Use a fiber supplement such as flaxseed, psyllium husk, or Aerobic Bulk Cleanser (ABC) from Aerobic Life Industries daily. Use occasional cleansing enemas for removing toxins for quicker healing. Note: Always take supplemental fiber separately from other supplements and medications.
Try keeping your house humidified and take fewer showers or baths. Showers and baths deplete the skin of its natural oils.
Before washing your hair, add about 8 tablespooons of pure organic Peanut Oil to the juice of half a lemon and rub the mixture into your scalp. Leave the mixture on for 5 to 10 minutes, or longer if your condition is acute, then shampoo.
Try rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar and water instead of plain water after shampooing. Use 1/4 cup vinegar to 1 quart of water.
Dermatitis can be due to nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended a person gets adequate amounts of vitamins B-6, B-12, Essential Fatty Acids and selenium in their diet.
Skin and scalp problems may be triggered by a deficiency in essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are required to produce every cell in the body. EFAs are not made by the body; instead they must be supplied through your diet. Flaxseed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, and Black Currant Oil are all excellent sources and will help relieve inflammation, itching and flaking. Take 1 tablespoon of any of these oils daily.

Zinc is highly effective in treating dandruff. Zinc is critical to cell regeneration. Several anti-dandruff shampoos contain zinc pyrithione which seems to be very good at clearing the problem. A zinc supplement, 15-30 mg taken daily is excellent for the skin and hair. When used in conjunction with a zinc based shampoo, the problem of dandruff should be kept at bay.
Another supplement being used in skin care is beta-carotene, which is also claimed as being extremely beneficial to the hair and scalp. Beta-carotene is essential for healthy skin. It is a antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which help reduce scalp irritation. Take 10,000 IU of beta-carotene daily.
Selenium can be found in several shampoo products is highly effective in controlling dandruff. The shampoo should be left on at least five minutes before being thoroughly rinsed. The hair and scalp should be shampooed with this type of shampoo at least once a week. Shampoo containing selenium should not be used on a daily basis, even if it aids in controlling dandruff. The antioxidant selenium aids in controlling a dry, flaking and itching scalp. Take between 200 and 1,000 mcg daily.
Certain essential oils are said to help control flaking. After washing your hair, mix a few drops of Rosemary and Lemon essential oils into a little Sweet Almond oil. Massage into your scalp and brush your hair with a soft brush.
Peppermint essential oil is often an effective remedy for dry, flaky or itchy skin. When diluted. peppermint oil can be applied to the skin every 2 hours.
ANTI-DANDRUFF HERBAL RINSE
To make an effective herbal rinse that alleviates flaking, combine a handful each of dried Calendula tops, dried Rosemary and dried Nettle tops. Place the mixture in a 2 quart glass jar and cover with 1 quart of organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Let the rinse steep for 1 month; then strain. To improve the scent, add a few drops of an essential oil, such as Rose or Lavender. Apply the rinse to your scalp after shampooing and leave it in. If you find the rinse too strong, dilute it by mixing 1-2 tablespoons of rinse in 1 cup of water.
Boric acid is a very old remedy for treating dandruff, and is freely available at any drug store or pharmacy. Moisten with a little water and rub well into the scalp, then rinse out thoroughly with warm water. This should be carried out just before you shampoo your hair in the normal way.
Colloidal Silver solution can be used as a scalp rinse.
Herbal Remedies: Colloidal Silver Liquid, SilvaSolution, 10 ppm, 16 fl. oz.
Herbal Remedies: Colloidal Silver Liquid, SilvaSolution, Super Strength Pro 50, 8 fl. oz.
Mineral Clay absorbs bacteria and dead skin cells. Mineral clay stems inflammatory skin reactions. Mix French, betonite or other clay powder with water to form a paste. Stir the clay with warm water until a paste forms and apply the paste to the skin in a 1/8 inch-thick layer. Clay should only be placed directly on the skin when it is unbroken without fissures or rawness. Leave on for 30 minutes; then rinse thoroughly with warm water. A poultice is made by dipping a cloth in the clay-water mixture and placing it on the skin until dry. Mineral clay is readily available at health food stores and online. (see link above)
If antibiotics are prescribed, take extra B-complex vitamins. Also take an acidophilus supplement to replace the "friendly" bacteria that are destroyed by antibiotics.
Do not pick or scratch the skin or scalp. Make sure to wash your hair frequently, and use a non-oily shampoo. Use natural hair products that do not contain chemicals. Avoid using irritating soaps and greasy ointments and creams. Over-the-counter ointments can do more harm than good.
If dermatitis is persistent or symptoms seem to be getting worse, consult with your health care provider. A dermatologist may possibly prescribe lotions that cleanse and dry with sulfur and resorcin or Deprosone cream.
Foods For Health - A dry and flaky skin and scalp can simply be the result of not drinking enough water. Getting a minimum of 10 glasses of pure water daily will moisten the skin and may also treat dandruff. Coffee, tea, juice and sodas do not count as water and may be, in fact, quite dehydrating.
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
Consult your homeopath for dosage recommendation.
Rhus Toxicodendron: For tiny, itchy blisters or burning, red and swollen skin that becomes scaly.
Graphites: For rough, dry skin that has raw cracks and for skin with fissures that exude a sticky fluid.
Sulphur: For dry, scaly or itchy skin and slow-healing wounds.
Apis: For sensitive, sore or itchy skin.
