Rashes

Rashes are patches of skin that are abnormal in color or texture and can look bumpy, scaly, or swollen. Caused by psychological and environmental factors, they can bring about itchiness or pain.

What is it?

Alterations in skin color, texture, or sensation that result in inflammation or discomfort are known as rashes. Rashes are often linked with various conditions like chickenpox, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm and shingles. They can also be triggered by a variety of psychological elements such as stress, anxiety, trauma, or environmental factors like air contamination, dietary carcinogens, pesticides, lead, or even extended exposure to computer screens. Recently, there have been reports of rashes related to coronavirus infection in some patients.


Don't feel isolated! Rashes are a common issue that affect most individuals at some point. There is no need to panic as our team of board-certified professionals at Clarkston Dermatology are here to assist you.


The American Academy of Dermatology Association advises seeking assistance from a board-certified dermatologist, such as our team in Clarkston and Oxford, Michigan, if you experience:


  • A rash that covers a large portion of your body.
  • A rash that results in blisters, open sores, or raw skin.
  • A rash accompanied by a fever or illness.
  • A rapidly spreading rash.
  • A rash that causes pain.
  • A rash affecting the eyes, lips, mouth, or genital skin.


How is it treated?

The approach to treating a rash depends on its type or cause. Our strategy might include the use of medicated creams, topical anti-itch lotions (like hydrocortisone), moisturizers, anti-fungal creams, oral medications, oral antihistamines, and light therapy. While some rashes may cause more discomfort than actual harm, others can signal a more severe health issue. If your rash requires medical attention, don't hesitate to book an appointment with our skilled team in Clarkston and Oxford, Michigan today.
