Is solar dermatitis contagious?

Skin disease is one of the most common diseases in life, and many of them are contagious. If not treated in time, it can easily affect people's health. Therefore, protective work needs to be done in care. Solar dermatitis is a very common dermatitis caused by excessive ultraviolet rays. It is generally not contagious, so you don't have to worry too much.

Solar dermatitis is generally not contagious, but you should be aware of:

1. When patients with solar dermatitis go out to work or play, they must take good sun protection measures and apply some sunscreen or sunscreen lotion that is not easy to irritate the skin. It is best to use a parasol and wear sunglasses to avoid direct sunlight contact with our skin.

2. The skin of patients with solar dermatitis is generally fragile, so when choosing underwear, try to choose softer ones that cause less irritation and damage to the skin. It is best not to wear nylon chemical fiber materials close to the skin to avoid causing greater itching.

3. The intake of allergic foods can also lead to solar dermatitis. The most common one is the unscientific intake of wild vegetables, such as gray vegetables, amaranth, radish leaves, pigweed, mustard greens and spinach, etc.; the use of allergic drugs can also cause solar dermatitis, such as the use of tetracycline ointment, coal tar preparations, psoralen, angelica dahurica and other allergic drugs; there are also bergamot oil, lemon oil, sandalwood oil; oral medications include tetracycline.

4. Solar dermatitis mainly occurs on exposed skin, especially the face, which is more susceptible to this dermatitis. Solar dermatitis is not contagious. The occurrence of solar dermatitis is related to personal constitution and skin color. People with weak constitutions and light skin will have more severe symptoms. The elderly and children are more susceptible to the disease and should pay more attention to protection.

I just hope that people can treat the disease correctly and have a comprehensive understanding of the disease. This will be of great benefit to patients and also bring better benefits to caregivers.
