Irritant Dermatitis: Irritant contact dermatitis accounts for 80% of all contact dermatitis reactions. It occurs when the skin comes in contact with a substance that acts as an irritant or trauma. Even though over 2800 substances have been identified as irritants, almost any substance under the right circumstances can act as an irritant. Mechanical irritation from masturbation can also lead to a dermatitis.
