Online Rash Treatment

A rash is a visible change in the texture or color of the skin, often causing redness, itching, swelling, or bumps. Rashes can be mild or severe, short-term or chronic, and can appear anywhere on the body. They may be triggered by allergies, infections, heat, or underlying skin conditions.

Online consultations allow patients to get timely evaluations of skin rashes, helping determine the cause and best treatment approach—whether it's an allergic reaction or a sign of a more serious issue.

• Allergic reactions (e.g., food, medication, fabrics)
• Skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
• Fungal, bacterial, or viral infections
• Insect bites or stings
• Heat or sweat (heat rash)
• Contact with irritants (e.g., soaps, detergents)

Prevention depends on the cause, but general strategies include avoiding irritants and keeping your skin clean and moisturized.

• Use hypoallergenic skincare products
• Avoid known allergens and irritants
• Keep skin dry and cool
• Moisturize regularly
• Wear breathable, loose-fitting clothing

• Redness or discoloration of the skin
• Itching or burning sensation
• Raised bumps or blisters
• Dry, scaly, or cracked skin
• Swelling or tenderness in affected areas

Treatment varies based on the underlying cause. Telehealth providers can evaluate the rash via images and symptoms, then recommend medications or further steps.

• Antihistamines for allergic rashes
• Topical corticosteroids for inflammation
• Antifungal or antibacterial creams
• Moisturizers and soothing agents
• Avoidance of identified triggers
