What Is a Rash?
A rash is any noticeable change in the color, texture, or appearance of your skin. It can be caused by a wide range of factors, including:
- Allergies

- Underlying medical conditions
Rashes can appear suddenly or develop over time, and while many are mild, some require medical attention to prevent worsening or complications.
Common Symptoms
If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may need evaluation:
- Red, inflamed, or discolored skin
- Itching or irritation
- Dry, scaly, or cracked skin

Symptoms can vary depending on the cause, so proper diagnosis is key to effective treatment.
