Rashes

The term ‘rashes’ covers a broad range of skin conditions, typically referring to various changes in the skin that manifest as red patches, bumps, or blisters. While most of these are quite harmless, they can sometimes be symptoms of underlying health issues and skin problems.

At Mohave Dermatology, we offer tailored rashes treatments. Our experts are here to help you understand the cause of your infection, what your treatment options are, and the best way to manage them.

What Causes Rashes?

There are different types of rashes, but the commonest ones include bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infections, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. Several different things can cause rashes, and most are accompanied by skin irritation. They can appear when the skin comes in contact with materials or substances such as:

• Lotions
• Soaps
• Harsh chemicals
• Poisonous plants
• Latex
• Metals and jewelry

Parasites or insects can also cause rashes as can prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Sometimes certain medications can trigger rashes too. They can be signs of chronic skin problems, viral infections, or some other severe condition or disease.

The Symptoms of Rashes

Depending on the individual, a rash can have different symptoms and can vary in appearance. Some of the common symptoms include:

• Blistering and bumpiness
• Cracks, swelling, and redness
• Itchiness
• Warm to the touch

If you are experiencing a rash in conjunction with other symptoms like a fever or shortness of breath, it’s essential that you schedule an appointment with one of our dermatologists as soon as possible. It is necessary to understand that rashes can sometimes indicate more serious health conditions such as liver disease, thyroid disease, or kidney disease as well.

In some cases, severe itching or rashes may also surface at the time cancer develops. If these symptoms do not subside on their own within a week or two, it’s necessary that an experienced dermatologist evaluates you for proper diagnosis and treatment.
