Rashes are a common skin condition that can occur for a variety of reasons, including allergies, infections, and autoimmune disorders. They can present as red, itchy bumps or patches on the skin and can be localized to a specific area or spread over a larger area of the body. While many rashes can be treated with over-the-counter creams or antihistamines, some rashes may require the attention of a dermatologist.

It is recommended to see a dermatologist if the rash is severe or persistent, accompanied by other symptoms like fever or swelling, or if it is affecting the quality of life of the individual. At Utah Valley Dermatology, our dermatologist can help diagnose the underlying cause of the rash and recommend the appropriate treatment. They can also provide advice on how to prevent future occurrences of the rash and how to care for the skin to prevent further damage. If left untreated, some rashes can lead to more serious complications, so it is important to seek medical attention if the rash is not improving or is causing discomfort.
