Rashes

A patch of inflamed or swollen skin is known as a rash. Many rashes are unpleasant, itchy, red, and irritating. Blemishes or areas of raw skin may develop as a result of certain rashes. Rashes may indicate a wide range of health issues. Allergies and irritants are other factors. People with certain genes may be more prone to developing rashes.

The rash known as contact dermatitis is rather prevalent. It results in redness, itching, and tiny lumps sometimes. You get the rash after coming into contact with an allergen, such as poison ivy, or an irritant, such a chemical.

Some rashes appear immediately. Others develop over a number of days. Although the majority of rashes go away pretty quickly, some are persistent and need long-term care.

It's crucial to identify the kind of rash you have before treating it since they may be brought on by a variety of different causes. Consult your doctor if the rash is severe, does not go away, or if you have any other symptoms. Moisturizers, lotions, baths, cortisone creams to reduce swelling, and antihistamines to reduce itching are all possible treatments.
