SKIN RASHES THAT MAY NEED MEDICAL CARE
Types of Skin Rashes We Treat at Friendswood Hospital
Skin rashes can appear suddenly or develop over time, and they don’t always come with clear answers. It’s best to bear in mind that some are mild and uncomfortable, while others may worsen or come with symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored.
Here at Friendswood Hospital, we care for a wide range of skin rash concerns and provide both urgent care and emergency care services, depending on your needs.
ALLERGIC RASHES
Caused by exposure to allergens such as certain plants, metals, or chemicals. These may be red, itchy, and often blistered.
HEAT RASH
Often seen in hot, humid weather when sweat ducts become blocked, leading to small red bumps and skin irritation.
CONTACT DERMATITIS
Appears when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen, resulting in redness, swelling, and sometimes blisters.
ECZEMA (ATOPIC DERMATITIS)
A chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy patches that may become red and inflamed over time.
HIVES
Raised, itchy welts that can appear suddenly, often triggered by allergens, stress, or unknown causes.
INFECTIOUS RASHES
Rashes caused by infections such as ringworm or impetigo. These may spread or worsen without proper medical care.
