What is the recommended first step in the treatment regimen of dermatitis?

  1. Topical steroids

  2. Avoiding etiologic irritants and allergens

  3. Systemic steroids

  4. Antihistamine therapy

The correct answer is: Avoiding etiologic irritants and allergens

The recommended first step in the treatment of dermatitis is to avoid the irritants or allergens that may be causing the condition. This is important in order to prevent further irritation and inflammation of the skin. Using topical or systemic steroids may provide temporary relief, but they do not address the underlying cause of the dermatitis. Antihistamine therapy may help with itching and discomfort, but it is not a first-line treatment for dermatitis. It is important to identify and eliminate triggers in order to effectively manage dermatitis.
