Persistent moisturization to the skin from exposure to water may contribute to an allergic reaction or irritant contact dermatitis, and can result in penetration of foreign objects . Changes in the skin's normal ecological environment, in or on the skin, can support the overgrowth of pathological organisms . Lotions contain 65 - 85% of water .
