Allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis in the small animal may result in clinical lesions with similar anatomical locations. Allergic contact dermatitis is generally noted in ventral and lightly haired regions as a papular, erythematous, and sometimes vesicular dermatitis. It is intensely pruritic and is the result of many months (and usually years) of exposure to the contact allergen. Total avoidance of the allergenic substance is the only successful long-term management. Irritant contact dermatitis occurs when an irritating substance is applied to the skin. It is a sequela that would occur in the majority of a population having contact with the compound. It is generally more painful than pruritic. Removal of the irritant will permit resolution of the signs.
小动物的过敏性接触性皮炎和刺激性接触性皮炎可能会导致具有相似解剖位置的临床病变。过敏性接触性皮炎通常见于腹部和毛发稀疏的区域，表现为丘疹性、红斑性，有时为水疱性皮炎。瘙痒剧烈，是数月（通常数年）接触接触性变应原的结果。完全避免接触变应原物质是唯一成功的长期管理方法。当刺激性物质接触皮肤时会发生刺激性接触性皮炎。这是大多数接触该化合物的人群都会出现的后遗症。通常疼痛比瘙痒更明显。去除刺激物后症状会消退。
