Cannabis is a plant, and for those who are allergic to it, touching it can cause contact dermatitis. However, for those who are not allergic to cannabis, it could be a treatment for allergic contact dermatitis as cannabis is an anti-inflammatory that can reduce cytokine production and help reduce the side-effects of an allergic reaction. Topicals would be particularly helpful for the treatment of allergic contact dermatitis.
