What causes rashes?
Rashes can be caused by a wide range of triggers, and when patients are not used to getting them with conditions such as eczema, they may be unsure of the cause. Knowing what caused the rash can help the doctor in providing effective treatment, but sometimes the trigger is unknown. This is when patients might want to see a dermatologist or skincare professional who can evaluate the rash further and determine what type of medical condition might be present. In some cases, the rash will go away on its own, while others need immediate care to address and keep from becoming a more serious problem.
What are some concerns that can develop that might require medical attention?
Below are a few situations in which patients may want to contact a dermatologist or visit an emergency room for further assistance:
- The rash covers the entire body
- A fever occurs in conjunction with the rash
- The rash comes on suddenly and spreads rapidly
- The rash starts to blister or become painful
- The rash looks infected with signs of crusting, swelling, and fluid
If any of the above situations have occurred, call Dr. Stanley Skopit of Dania Dermatology for further evaluation or consider visiting the emergency room for immediate attention.
