Did you know that you can develop an antibiotic allergy from triple antibiotic ointments?
My guest Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu lectured on contact allergic dermatitis at the Eczema Expo 2023 hosted by the National Eczema Association, and I found his presentation so valuable that I invited him here to share the ins + outs on the topic of contact dermatitis.
We discuss:
- What is contact dermatitis (and is it genetic)?
- Contact dermatitis compared to food or environmental allergies
- Which antihistamines don't work for contact dermatitis
- Top contact dermatitis allergies
- The antibiotic that's a common allergy
- If you're reactive to medical gloves…
- Crazy “hidden” sources of contact dermatitis allergens
- Testing for contact dermatitis (beware of your results)
