Rash Evaluation & Treatment
From infancy to adulthood, skin rashes can regularly appear due to irritation, infection, allergies or underlying medical conditions. Since they develop in response to so many different triggers, it is important to have them evaluated and treated by a dermatologist. The experienced skin care practitioners and staff at Ogden Clinic employ proven tools and techniques to examine, diagnose and treat skin rashes for our patients and to reduce their severity or eliminate the rashes altogether
Common Skin Rash Causes
Your Ogden Clinic dermatologist will consider many different potential causes while determining how and why your skin rash developed. Common causes include:
Eczema
Contact dermatitis
Bacterial infection
Insect bites and stings
Impetigo
Scabies
Allergies
Cellulitis
Parasites
Sexually transmitted diseases
Our Norther Utah dermatologists must perform a full diagnostic skin rash examination, including visual examination and lab tests, to identify the cause of your rash.
Visual rash Examination and Diagnostic Tests
The rash diagnostic process often begins with a visual examination that allows your dermatologist to identify a preliminary diagnosis. To confirm this initial diagnosis, dermatologists often send skin cultures, biopsies and blood samples to the lab for evaluation. By having lab workers look at the collected samples under a microscope, and perform other helpful tests, your dermatologist can easily identify the factors causing the rash and come up with a beneficial skin rash treatment plan.
Skin Rash Treatment Options in Northern Utah
The first stage of the rash treatment process in our clinic focuses on reducing itching, pain or other forms of discomfort caused by the rash. Your dermatologist may prescribe an ointment designed to reduce symptoms and potentially clear up the rash. The next step revolves around the treatment of any identified underlying causes, such as a bacterial infection or allergic reaction.
Your dermatologist will prescribe medications or work alongside other specialists to help their patients reach a full recovery and find relief. Follow-up appointments will allow your dermatologist to adjust your treatment as needed to help you fully recover from the rash symptoms and its underlying causes.
