Rashes
Types | Causes | Severity
Most people have experienced rashes in some form or another throughout their life. These can range from mild to severe cases caused by dozens of factors, whether environmentally, bacterially, virally, or genetically. Signs of rashes are commonly noticed by puffy, red, flaky or bumpy skin. These can be itchy, painful, sensitive, or hot to the touch depending on the rash you have.
Our specialists are trained to detect various forms of rashes and their origins. If you suspect you're experiencing a rash that requires further analysis, contact our dermatologists for a comprehensive evaluation.
