Dermatitis
This is not a condition in itself, but rather a catch all term used to describe a number of conditions that cause inflammation of the skin. Conditions which dermatitis can cover include eczema, psoriasis and allergic reactions, as well as a number of very rare skin complaints. It is normally an initial diagnosis that is subsequently clarified after a visit to a dermatologist.

i have red lesions on the insides of my thighs and there not scabbed but its starting to spread to my other thigh, what could this be?
Hi, im 24, i have just recently started to get very red itchy patches arround my thighs and now redness on my balls.
I do get sores/ boils / chaffed thighs occasionally being a big lad. depending on what ive been wearing etc.
I have just bought some eurax cream from boots but am unsure about using it as it says to consult a doctor or pharmasist before use. What is best solution without having to go see the doctor?
Thanks
