What Is A Rash?

The word rash is a broad term to describe any type of inflammation that develops on the skin, which can also lead to discoloration. Rashes come in many different varieties, with some of the more common ones being hives, heat rash, allergic contact dermatitis, and even athlete's foot. Some rashes can even be contagious if they are due to bacterial or fungal infections. Noninfectious rashes can get worse when not treated early. If you're experiencing a rash that's causing you discomfort, contact Flourish Dermatology and Aesthetics in New Orleans, LA to schedule an appointment with Dr. Payne. We can evaluate your skin and create a treatment program to bring you much-needed relief.

Causes

It's possible for a rash to be caused by just one trigger; however, rashes can also develop when a number of factors work together to irritate the skin. Typically, a rash develops when someone comes in contact with something that leads to an allergic reaction or infection. Cleaning supplies, fragranced lotions, soaps, wipes, pollen, and animal dander can cause an allergic response that contributes to the development of a rash. There are thousands of different bacteria and viruses that can trigger rashes also. If you have hay fever, sensitive skin, allergies, and asthma, you may be more likely to experience rashes, including eczema.

Symptoms

Rashes can present with a variety of symptoms, including discoloration or redness of the skin, with associated blisters, itching, inflammation, stinging, and burning. These indicators may be minor or severe and may affect a small or large region of your skin. Rashes can occur just about anywhere on your body.

How Do You Treat Rashes?

Rash treatments often vary from patient to patient. During your initial consultation, Dr. Payne will examine your skin to determine a diagnosis and treatment plan. She will take into account the specific type of rash, location, and severity to design a customized treatment program that's ideal for you and your skin care needs. In some cases, topical anti-inflammatory treatments or antibacterial, antifungal, or antibiotic topical creams or gels are used to ease and manage symptoms. If your rash was caused by an allergic reaction, we will try to pinpoint the trigger so you know what to avoid in the future.
