Irritation
Irritation, in
biology and
physiology, is a state of
inflammation or painful reaction to
allergy or cell-lining damage. A stimulus or agent which induces the state of irritation is an
irritant. Irritants are typically thought of as chemical agents (for example
phenol and
capsaicin) but mechanical, thermal (heat), and radiative stimuli (for example
ultraviolet light or
ionising radiations) can also be irritants. Irritation also has non-clinical usages referring to bothersome physical or psychological
pain or discomfort.
