RASHES

Trusted Medical Dermatology Treatments for Rashes in Tarzana

A rash is a reaction of the skin. It can be caused by many things, such as a drug reaction, an infection, or an allergic reaction. Many different agents can cause similar rashes because the skin has a limited number of possible responses. In most cases, symptoms associated with rashes—such as a history of tick bites, recent antibiotic use, environmental exposures, or prior immunizations—help a dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

While many rashes caused by viruses are harmless and resolve naturally over time, some rashes in children or adults may indicate more serious or even life-threatening conditions. When in doubt, it is essential to consult a medical dermatologist in Tarzana.
