Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain types of dermatitis in general terms, route severe or infected cases to care, describe management approaches with attribution, and support people living with skin conditions without individual medical advice.

Inflammation of the skin causing redness, itching, rash or blistering, with forms including atopic dermatitis or eczema, contact dermatitis from irritants or allergens, seborrhoeic dermatitis, neurodermatitis and many rarer conditions; dermatitis is common, often chronic, diagnosed by clinicians and managed with skin care, trigger avoidance and treatments under dermatology guidelines.

What it is for: Inflammatory skin conditions.

It can be explain types and triggers; route severe cases to care; describe management in general terms; support self-care and living with the condition.
