315: What Is Contact Dermatitis? (Triggers, Testing + Treatment You Need To Know) w/ Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu

Buzzsprout Description

What is contact dermatitis—and why is it so tricky to treat? It looks like a rash or infection on your skin, but it doesn't get better to antibiotics (which often make it worse!). If you've ever had poison ivy before — this is probably the most famous type of contact dermatitis rash out there.

Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu, Harvard dermatologist and expert on allergic contact dermatitis, breaks down the complexity behind false test results, top triggers of contact dermatitis, why antihistamines may not help, and how treatment varies based on the source. This episode is a must-listen if you’re dealing with rashes that won’t quit.
