Rashes may manifest as patches, hives, or vesicles and can exhibit redness, itchiness, scaliness, or dryness. They can arise in a localized area or spread across the entire body. While most rashes are not life-threatening, some may indicate a more serious underlying condition.
If you have a rash and experience any of the following symptoms, promptly seek medical attention from our board-certified dermatologists: widespread rash, rash accompanied by fever, sudden and rapid rash spreading, blistering rash, painful rash, or infected rash.
The most common types of skin conditions, diseases and disorders that we treat include, but are not limited to the following.
Herpes Simplex
A viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. It can result in painful, fluid-filled blisters on the skin or mucous membranes, commonly occurring around the mouth (cold sores) or genital area.
Also known as shingles, it is a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox). It typically presents as a painful rash with fluid-filled blisters, following the distribution of a nerve or dermatome.
A chronic skin condition characterized by inflamed, painful nodules or boils, typically in areas with apocrine sweat glands, such as the armpits, groin, and buttocks. It can lead to recurrent abscesses and scarring.
A viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus, a poxvirus. It results in small, round, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin, which may be itchy or tender.
Benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size and appearance depending on the type of wart.
