    Low humidity from air conditioning was found to be the most common cause of physical irritant contact dermatitis.

    Erythema multiforme (EM) is a skin condition that appears with red patches evolving into target lesions, typically on both hands.

    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]
