Because the skin needs to be lubricated, it is covered with oil secreting glands known as sebaceous glands.

Rashes and eczema are conditions of dermatitis. While this condition is not life threatening and not contagious in any way, severe cases can be very uncomfortable or even painful for the sufferer. There are various causes for the many different conditions that fall under this term, and some are simply genetic. This means that you're just going to be more prone to rashes or extremely dry skin, or to eczema itself. For others, dermatitis might be caused by irritation to the skin such as from prolonged exposure to chemical and other such harsh solutions, to severe weather especially cold wind, or other such elements.
