skin irritation
Itchy red patch
Skin irritation is redness, itching, or discomfort on the skin's surface, typically caused by contact with an irritating substance, friction, or allergic reaction.
The term appears frequently on product labels warning of potential side effects: Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs.
Unlike a rash, which describes visible changes, skin irritation emphasizes the sensation.
