Description

Dermatitis is a ritual that stages a flamboyant inflammation show on your body’s surface as a challenge against the myth of health’s order. It breaks through the skin’s barrier and attempts to invade daily life with the weapons of redness and itchiness. Even a seemingly small spot can perform as an actor, provoking anxiety that ‘only my appearance is broken.’ The so-called treatment that arrives as a medical alliance often turns out to be a strategist that wastes your time and devotion. All of this is merely a stage device cunningly designed to shake your confidence in health at the slightest slip.
