Skin Rashes :
Skin rashes are observed when the skin becomes inflamed, bumped and reddish and further causes itchiness and pain. Skin rashes are categorized into different types such as hives, eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and viral types like chicken pox and molluscum contagiosum. The common presenting complains of skin rashes include skin that is dry, blistering, blotchy, burning or stinging, flaky or scaling, inflamed or swollen, hive like, itchy, painful and red. The causative factors of skin rashes include skin conditions like eczema, bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses, allergens in the environment and irritants. Skin rashes are evaluated by conducting investigations like allergy test, biopsy and several blood tests. The treatment plan to manage a skin rash involves taking allergy medications, anti inflammatory creams, immunosuppressants, topical immunomodulators, oatmeal baths and steroids. Infection and anaphylaxis may occur gradually if skin rashes are left untreated.
