What other questions might my healthcare provider ask to diagnose dermatitis?

The conversation with your healthcare provider will need to cover a lot of information. Be sure to be specific about your symptoms.

• Where is your dermatitis located?
• What have you used to try to treat your dermatitis?
• What medical conditions do you have? Allergies? Asthma? Celiac disease?
• How long have you had symptoms of dermatitis?
• Do you take hot showers?
• Is there anything that makes your symptoms worse?
• Are you around chemicals?
• Have you noticed that something triggers or worsens your dermatitis? Soaps? Detergents? Cigarette smoke?
• Is there so much pain or itchiness that you have trouble sleeping? Working? Just living your normal life?
