Itchy Rashes: Is It Allergic or Irritant Dermatitis?

Can you distinguish between allergic and irritant dermatitis?
See this slideshow to find out.

1) Dermatologic Emergencies
2) Atopic Dermatitis. One of two types is clearly allergic and is very responsive to allergy diagnosis and treatment. A new biologic agent, Dupixent, is also useful, in my experience.
3) Urticaria (hives), acute, recurrent or chronic, is mostly an allergic condition - but may have many other causes. It often requires a detailed allergy and medical evaluation for identification and resolution - when we are fortunate.
4) Contact Dermatitis. A "delayed-type" hypersensitivity reaction. "Poison Ivy" is the prototype, as is nickel / metal sensitivity, but the list is almost endless. It may require patch testing by a Dermatologist.
