Rashes can go from itchy to embarrassing and frustrating fast. Dr. Schultz and the team work diligently to diagnose and treat rashes to give you relief from discomfort and aesthetic concerns.
A rash is an area of skin irritation or swelling that is associated with redness, itchiness, and flaking. Rashes are common in children, but many adults can also experience rashes as a result of allergic reactions, exposure to irritants like chemicals or poison ivy, or even from temperature changes! Rashes develop as your body attempts to protect itself. After coming into contact with an allergen or irritant, it may take hours to days for the rash to develop. Once established, rashes may dissipate on their own or with medical intervention. In some cases, rashes may require long-term treatment to manage.
