Skin Rashes
Skin rash is defined as skin that is not normal in appearance and texture. It is characterized by redness, bumps, blotches, cracks, blisters or swelling and may be accompanied by itching and, in severe cases, by fever. A rash may be localized or may spread to the entire body. If medical attention is not given on time, the problem can worsen.
Skin rashes can have many causes. Each one pertains to a particular condition of the skin or a particular type of disease. It requires the help of a dermatologist to decide what the problem is and what treatment is to be given.
Contact dermatitis is a rash caused by touching something that was previously contaminated or does not suit your body chemistry. Eczema is a skin problem related to people with allergies and asthma. Sebhoric dermatitis deals with flaky skin. If it is on the scalp, it is called dandruff.
Skin rashes are myriad in nature. Each condition is relative to certain problems. Simple problems occur due to allergies to certain foods, detergents, perfumes, plants, etc. Others could be related to diseases like measles, chicken pox, shingles, hand and foot diseases etc. If the problem is considered serious, then you may be advised to have a skin biopsy to rule out diseases like cancer.
These days there are vaccinations available that take care of diseases that could cause rashes. In all cases, it is important to maintain a hygienic routine. When you are affected, find out what products and medications make you break out, and keep this list handy to prevent further problems. As much as possible, avoid over-the-counter remedies except to treat very basic skin problems. Get professional advice and take the required medication, as it is necessary to get rid of the problem at its root.
Most skin conditions need cream or lotion applications to alleviate the problem, and in some cases a course of antibiotics could be prescribed. Read up on some basic medicines, get tips from doctors, and keep a first-aid kit handy and you may prevent a simple rash from turning into a bigger problem.
