Patient/caregiver was educated on signs and symptoms of contact eczema as follows:

  1. Contact eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which individuals tend to show a strong immune response on coming into physical contact with any substances /allergens they are allergic to. These allergens/triggers that individuals respond to could differ from person to person.
  2. Contact eczema is a self-limited condition and involves only that portion of skin which contacted the allergen. Depending upon exposure to the trigger, contact eczema can get periodically activated & be relieved at other times.
  3. Contact eczema activation can result in inflammatory skin rash, appearing as brownish red patches with intense itching.
