Dermatitis Diagnosis & Treatment in Ann Arbor, MI
Not every skin condition has a recognizable name or list of symptoms set in stone. General skin inflammation, rashes, and outbreaks can affect each of us, even those without other chronic skin concerns. “Dermatitis” or “atopic dermatitis” is an umbrella term that includes one-time, recurring, or otherwise infrequent skin irritation, flaking, and dryness. But no matter the cause or symptoms of your rashes, there’s relief on offer at Ganger Dermatology.
Identifying & Solving Skin Irritation
Dermatitis has many forms, but every form is inconvenient. Often resulting in dry, flaking, itching, or cracked skin, dermatitis can come and go, stick around for weeks, or pop up on a regular basis without a known cause. Thankfully, there are numerous treatment options for providing relief and preventing future outbreaks.
At Ganger Dermatology, we’ll start by listening to your medical history and symptoms. We’ll examine your rash and uncover the type of dermatitis you have. Afterward, we can prescribe a course of treatment or combination of treatments. These may include over-the-counter medications/creams, topical steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams, oral medications, injectable medications, or light therapy.

Dermatitis FAQs
You’ve heard of other common skin conditions before, such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and shingles. Dermatitis, while including eczema, is a broad category of rashes and skin irritation. Dermatitis takes many forms and has many causes, including childhood or adult atopic dermatitis, nummular (or “coin-shaped”) eczema, hand eczema, contact dermatitis, stasis dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and many more.
If you suspect you’re suffering from a form of dermatitis, contact our Ann Arbor location today at (734) 344-4567 or find a Ganger Dermatology office near you.
If you’re experiencing persistent, recurring, or infrequent rashes without a known cause or relation to other chronic skin conditions, you may have a form of dermatitis. Common symptoms include dry skin, itchy skin, swelling, rashes, redness, blisters (sometimes oozing or crusting), dandruff, or thick, scaly skin.
At Ganger Dermatology, we can help you determine next steps and prescribe a course of action to provide relief.
Not every rash deserves immediate medical attention, but there are signs and symptoms that should encourage you to visit a dermatologist. If your rash becomes so inflamed that it causes a distraction, or if the pain becomes too great to ignore, you should seek professional medical treatment. Similarly, if you suspect your rash is infected or spreading, treatment may be required to prevent more dangerous symptoms.
