What Are Rashes?

Some common types of skin rashes are:

  • Atopic Dermatitis, the most common form of eczema.
  • Bacterial Infections, such as impetigo.
  • Contact Dermatitis, a type of eczema caused by coming into contact with an allergen.
  • Chronic skin problems, such as acnepsoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.
  • Fungal Infections, such as “ringworm” or yeast infection.
  • Viral Infections, such as shingles and “fever blisters”.
  • Simple irritation reactions from soaps, laundry detergents and shampoos.

Do not let a rash that suddenly appears and does not go away remain untreated. It can also be a sign of other more serious illness such as Lyme disease, liver disease, kidney disease or some types of cancers.
