Broad Condition
A skin rash is defined as a widespread eruption of lesions on the skin, though rashes may vary in size, shape, and location. Because of this variety, and the fact that they may appear on only one spot or all over the body, it’s difficult to pin down the causes or symptoms of skin rashes. A rash indicates an abnormal change in skin color or texture and they are typically caused by skin inflammation, which may result from any number of different causes. Many rashes are itchy, painful, and irritated, while some rashes may result in blisters, welts, or patches of raw skin. Some rashes develop right away, while other rashes may form over several days. Although the majority of rashes clear up relatively quickly, certain rashes may be long-lasting and require professional treatment from a dermatologist. There are a significant number of different types of rashes, including eczema, granuloma annulare, lichen planus, and pityriasis rosea.
Compromised skin barrier, overactive immune system, genetics, environmental triggers, or contact with allergens/irritants.
Moisturize daily with thick creams, avoid hot showers, use fragrance-free products, and identify/avoid personal triggers.
Topical corticosteroids, non-steroidal immunomodulators (calcineurin inhibitors), antihistamines for itch, and light therapy.
Myth: Eczema is contagious. Fact: It is an inflammatory skin condition and completely non-contagious.
If the rash covers a large area, bleeds, oozes (sign of infection), or severely impacts your sleep and daily life.
