Rashes brought on by contact with a specific item are known as Contact Dermatitis. This differs from Atopic dermatitis in that atopic skin rashes come and go without apparent cause. They are worse in cold, winter months and moisturizing may help but really has little long-term benefit. Atopic dermatitis is a hereditary condition and, while those who suffer from Atopic dermatitis may be prone to allergy related symptoms, Atopic dermatitis itself is not considered an allergic condition. Contact dermatitis, on the other hand, may be considered an allergic reaction. Contact dermatitis is a rash brought on only where contact with the irritant is made. Common irritants are Poison Ivy and nickel. Nickel is often found in jewelry.
The best treatment for Contact dermatitis is avoidance of the offending irritant. If a rash does occur, treatment with 1% Hydrocortisone cream might help. Common causes of contact skin rash allergies are:
Plants, i.e. Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, etc
Metals, most often nickel, found in inexpensive jewelry
Dyes
Chemicals in household cleaning products
Cosmetics
Perfumes or fragrances
Detergents
Latex and rubber
The majority of skin related allergic reactions do not cause immune system response involving Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Generally cells in the immediate area of contact are inflamed causing only a minimal and limited reaction. There are, however, some reactions, which do trigger IgE and cause a reaction throughout the body.
Rashes from contact allergies can consist of swelling, itching, hives, burning, redness, blistering or a combination of the above. Hives are generally attributed to food or medication reactions. Contact reactions are generally more limited to the burning, itching, redness and swelling. Symptomatic treatment of contact related skin allergies includes:

Otitis stands for ear inflammation, and Media interprets the middle portion.
The inflammation to the middle ear is due to the infection labeled Otitis Media. Such infection establishes itself in the region of the ear that is between the ear drum and the inner drum. In addition, this middle ear infection also incorporates a duct referred to as the Eustachian tube.
