Understanding What Triggers a Rash

A rash is a general term for any skin change that involves redness, irritation, or inflammation. Rashes can develop suddenly or gradually and may appear as small bumps, patches of redness, or blisters. Common causes of rashes include:

Allergic Reactions

Contact with allergens, such as certain plants, chemicals, or fabrics, can trigger a rash.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

A chronic condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.

Psoriasis

An autoimmune condition that leads to red, scaly patches on the skin.

Infections

Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can result in rashes, such as ringworm or shingles.

Medications

Some medications can cause rashes as a side effect or allergic reaction.

When to See a Dermatologist

While many rashes are harmless and resolve on their own, some may require medical attention, especially if they are severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms. It’s important to know when to contact a medical professional to take a look.

Call or contact us when a rash spreads quickly or doesn’t improve with over-the-counter treatments, or you have intense itching, pain, swelling, blisters, oozing, or signs of infection. If your rash is accompanied by fever, fatigue, or other systemic symptoms, seek medical help.

Treatment Options for Rashes

Depending on the type and severity of the rash, Dr. Mastruserio may recommend one or more of the following treatments:

Topical Medications

Creams or ointments to reduce inflammation, itching, and irritation.

Oral Medications

For severe or systemic rashes, antihistamines, antibiotics, or other oral medications may be prescribed.

Lifestyle Adjustments

Guidance on avoiding triggers and maintaining proper skin care to prevent future outbreaks.

Advanced Therapies

For chronic or recurring rashes, additional treatments like phototherapy may be considered.
