Because the condition was noticeable only because of the little black dress she was wearing, Amanda thanked her friend and determined that she would wash a little more carefully in that area.
Maybe it was because she was suddenly aware of it, but the patch of skin soon became itchy, to the point where Amanda was seeking constant relief by scratching. That was a mistake, as the skin in the area soon began to crack and become scaly.
Fortunately, Amanda decided to go to a doctor before things got much worse. What she discovered is that she had a disease called dermatitis, and if she let it go much longer, it could have developed blisters that ooze fluids. That’s definitely not a condition worth celebrating.
What Is Dermatitis?
Dermatitis is an umbrella term for several types of skin irritations. The early stages are usually characterized by itchy, red or dry skin. But those affected areas can soon escalate into a terribly scaly, cracked and red condition that oozes more fluids than Sigourney Weaver’s aliens.
