Dermatitis - Hifuen (English spelling)

Japanese: 皮膚炎 - ひふえん(英語表記)dermatitis
Dermatitis - Hifuen (English spelling)

In a broad sense, it means inflammation of the skin, but the term dermatitis is usually used to refer to eczema-type diseases such as atopic dermatitis, primary irritant dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. In other words, dermatitis is often used synonymously with eczema. In particular, it often refers to exogenous dermatitis (contact dermatitis) with a clear cause, such as linear dermatitis and poisonous moth dermatitis.

Japanese:

広義には皮膚におきた炎症をさすが、通常、皮膚炎の呼称は、アトピー性皮膚炎、一次性刺激性皮膚炎、接触皮膚炎、脂漏性皮膚炎というように湿疹(しっしん)性疾患に対して用いられる。すなわち、皮膚炎は湿疹と同義に用いられることが多い。とくに線状皮膚炎、毒蛾(どくが)皮膚炎というように原因が明らかな外因性の皮膚炎(接触皮膚炎) をさす場合が多い。
