What is skin rash and allergy?
A rash is any change in the skin’s colour, texture or feel, from redness and itching to bumps and hives. Allergies cause them when the body’s defences react strongly to something harmless like a food, drug, plant or insect sting.
How skin rash and allergy is treated
Photos and a video visit let the doctor evaluate the rash, suggest antihistamines or creams, advise on triggers and flag anything that requires an in-person exam. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest antihistamines, soothing or mild steroid creams and avoiding the trigger.
- Rinse skin with clean water after contact with irritants
