Rashes

What Are Skin Rashes and What Causes Them?

Skin rashes are any alteration to the skin's color, texture, or appearance. Some can be cosmetic and change how the skin looks, while others can be painful. Factors that contribute to or cause rashes include:

  • Allergies: Allergens in plants, foods, or chemicals.
  • Infections: This can include bacterial, fungal, or viral infections.
  • Environment: Intense heat or cold, which leads to sweating or dry skin.
  • Autoimmune Conditions: Common rash-causing autoimmune conditions include lupus and psoriasis.
  • Genetics: Some individuals may be more prone to certain rashes or conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis due to genetic factors.
  • Stress: Stressful events in life can elicit rashes on the skin.
  • Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics, blood thinners, anti-hypertensives, can cause rashes as a side effect. In addition, some people can develop an allergic reaction to medication.

How Are Rashes Treated?

There are a variety of dermatological solutions formulated to treat all varieties of rashes. Topical treatments reduce inflammation and itching while helping to soothe and hydrate irritated or dry skin.
