Contact UsWhat is a Rash?
A rash is a general term for any kind of inflammation or discoloration of the skin. There are many kinds of rashes, such as contact dermatitis, hives, heat rash, and athlete's foot. Rashes are often caused by an infection that's parasitic, fungal, viral, or bacterial. Certain rashes are not infectious, but others can be easily spread when left untreated. If you have a rash that is causing you distress, call Providence Dermatology in Providence, UT to schedule a consultation with Dr. Travis James. We can evaluate your condition and customize a treatment plan that can bring much-needed relief.
What Are the Causes of Rashes?
A rash can arise from various factors rather than a single cause. Typically, rashes develop when the skin reacts to an irritant, infection, or allergen. Common triggers include cleaning products, certain lotions or soaps, pollen, and animal dander, all of which may provoke an allergic response leading to a rash. Additionally, thousands of bacteria and viruses can contribute to rash development. Individuals with conditions like hay fever, sensitive skin, allergies, or asthma often have a higher likelihood of experiencing rashes.
What are Treatment Options for Rashes?
Treatment will differ for everyone. During your initial consultation, Dr. James will methodically analyze your skin to determine a diagnosis and treatment program. He will consider the particular kind of rash, its location, and its severity to create a personalized treatment regimen. An antibacterial, antifungal, or antibiotic topical ointment or gel is often utilized to alleviate and address symptoms.
Rashes Reviews
I rarely post reviews but Dr. James and Providence Dermatology definitely deserve one! We have needed his assistance more than once in the past year and he is always so helpful and professional. My little boy ended up with poison ivy of all things and he was so miserable. Dr. James immediately helped him get some medicine to ease the discomfort and then got him going on the medicine needed to help him heal up. He explains things well, is fun with our kids, and his office is always clean with a great staff. We won’t go anywhere else.
