An eczematous reaction is an inflammatory intolerance response of the skin. In acute phase the reaction is characterized by erythema and blistering while in the chronic phase it presents as dryness, itchiness and lichenification. Irritative contact dermatitis describes these patterns of reaction in response to toxicity of chemicals on the skin cells, which trigger inflammation by activation of the innate immune system.

An eczematous reaction is an inflammatory intolerance response of the skin. In acute phase the reaction is characterized by erythema and blistering while in the chronic phase it presents as dryness, itchiness and lichenification. Irritative contact dermatitis describes these patterns of reaction in response to toxicity of chemicals on the skin cells, which trigger inflammation by activation of the innate immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to see if omega cream, as proposed by its mechanism of action, could improve SLS induced contact dermatitis.
