their pediatrician because of
skin rashes. Review pictures of

including ringworm, chicken pox,

Rashes are a common reason
that parents bring their
children to their pediatrician.
Unfortunately, it isn't always
easy to know what is causing
these rashes or how to treat
them. Treatments for rashes
work much better when you
actually know what is causing
the rash. These treatments
might include a moisturizer for
dry skin, steroid for eczema,
antifungal cream for ringworm,
or anti-itch medications for
chicken pox, etc.
