quick question about dermatitis
by Eric, Apr 10, 2000 12:00AM
yeah, i was just wondering what non-alcoholic dermatitis is, because i had heard someone in the column talking about it some time ago. How do you get it, what are the symptoms, and how is it treated? Thanks....

Eric,
I'm afraid I never heard of "non-alcoholic dermatitis." I never even heard of alcoholic dermatitis. There is atopic dermatitis, which is a synonym for eczema. Applying alcohol makes eczmea somewhat worse. Drinking alcohol may make it seem less important . . .
Best.
