Rash


Rashes are generally caused by skin irritation, which can have many causes. A rash is generally a minor problem that may go away with home treatment. In some cases, a rash does not go away or the skin may become so irritated that medical care is needed.

Common causes of contact dermatitis include:
Poisonous plants
Soaps, detergents, shampoos, perfumes, cosmetics, or lotions
Jewelry
Fabrics
New tools, toys, appliances, or other objects
Latex


The need for medical treatment often depends on what other symptoms are present. Ask your pharmacist for help.
