Skin rashes


Skin 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.
