What is Contact Dermatitis Care?

Contact dermatitis is an uncomfortable, often intensely itchy skin rash caused by direct contact with a specific substance or an allergic reaction to it. Common triggers include certain cosmetics, fragrances, jewelry metals, harsh soaps, or specific plants. The rash might not appear immediately after contact, which can make it very difficult to figure out the cause on your own.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, our approach is twofold: we provide immediate medical relief for your irritated skin and act as detectives to identify the exact trigger causing the problem.

How does Contact Dermatitis Care work?

Our first priority is to make you comfortable. To rapidly reduce redness, swelling, and itching, our board-certified dermatologists will typically prescribe targeted topical creams or ointments. If your reaction is severe, we may recommend a short course of oral medication.

Once the immediate flare-up is managed, we work with you to pinpoint the cause. We will carefully review the products you use and your daily environment. To confirm specific allergies, we may perform safe, in-office patch testing. Finally, we equip you with the knowledge and alternatives you need to avoid those triggers and keep your skin calm and clear.

Suffering from an unexplained or persistent rash?

Schedule a consultation with our specialized dermatology team. We will help you find fast relief and uncover the root cause of your skin irritation.

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
