Is contact dermatitis contagious?

I have a really small area of my cheek and have been putting hydrocortisone cream on it. I'm just wondering if my 8 month old will get it, since she's always climbing on me and touching my face? Anyone know anything about contact dermatitis?

Is contact dermatitis contagious?
No, contact dermatitis is usually a swelling/irritation of the skin that was caused by touching something you're allergic to. For instance, a chemical or metal that you're sensitive to...like a chemical in hand soap, that kind of thing. People with sensitive skin usually get it and need to use mild, natural.
Reply:Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin. There's no way to know what's causing it without a doctor visit and there for no way to tell if it's contagious or not.
Reply:Honestly, Only a doctor can tell you. Please ask your doctor asap.
Reply:its usually a allergic reaction and no its not contagious i get it all the time really sensitive skin its just your skin being agitated mines usually from laundry detergent
