Dermatitis, Eczema & Hives Center

Dermatitis and hives cause varying levels of skin reddening and inflammation. Examples of dermatitis, sometimes called eczema, include atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and perioral dermatitis. Contact dermatitis results from an allergen (allergic contact dermatitis) or irritant (irritant contact dermatitis). Hives are smooth bumps that suddenly appear on the body.
