Oral antihistamine drugs like cetirizine and fexofenadine are prescribed to treat contact dermatitis. In the majority of the cases, corticosteroid ointment is applied to alleviate the skin inflammation.

Research institutes and pharmaceutical companies are developing various treatment options form contact dermatitis most of which have completed their clinical studies. For instance, Innovaderm Research Inc. is currently studying EB01 Cream which is in Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of chronic allergic contact dermatitis.

At present, around 50% of the pipeline candidates for contact dermatitis are in the phase-2 clinical stage. More than half of the studies are sponsored by industry.
