Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory reaction of the skin, caused by foreign irritants (antigens) which are harmless on first contact but able to elicit specific effector T cells in the individual. If sensitization has been established, skin lesions develop several hours after contact with the specific material, and the reaction reaches a maximum in a few days (delayed hypersensitivity).
