About three-quarters of cases of contact eczema are of the irritant type, which is the most common occupational skin disease. Contact eczema is curable, provided the offending substance can be avoided and its traces removed from one's environment. (ICD-10 L23; L24; L56.1; L56.0)

Biopsies are typically not necessary, and cannot be used to rule out other atopic dermatitis or other eczemas. [9] [10] However, patch testing may be employed to rule out irritants (contact dermatitis) as a cause. [6] [11] In children, nummular dermatitis is commonly confused with tinea corporis. [8]
