A member asked:
My son came home from the university with dermatitis on his neck. could it be from public wash machines ?

Localized=no: If he has a rash localized to one area it is most likely to represent a chance contact with an external agent. Like poison ivy, or something that got on his hands & was transferred to his neck. Skin reactions often emerge 18-24 hours after such a contact & are called contact dermatitis.
