What is it?

Rashes may appear on your skin, impacting your skin’s color and texture, and can bring about a burning or itching sensation resulting in discomfort. Rashes often stem from psychological factors like stress or environmental elements like pollution or chemicals. Conditions like chickenpox, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm and shingles can all look like rashes. Some of our patients have reported rashes as a symptom of COVID-19.

It's important to remember that rashes are a common health issue experienced by nearly everyone at some point, so there's no need for undue concern. Rest assured, our team of board-certified dermatologists at our dermatology clinic is here to provide expert assistance.

Schedule an appointment with the Skin Care Center if your rash has any of the following symptoms:

Extends over a significant area of your body
Progresses to blisters, open wounds or raw skin
Is accompanied by fever or other signs of illness
Rapidly spreads
Discomfort or pain
It develops around the eyes, lips, mouth or genital area

How is it treated?

A rash is a term for a collection of skin conditions. Eczema and hives are the most common types of rashes. However, there are thousands of possible rashes which is why advanced patch testing is necessary to isolate the root of the problem.
