What are common causes for skin rashes?
Skin Rashes can be caused by irritants, external irritants, allergans which can be external or internal, medications can cause Rashes, systemic problems and internal diseases can cause Skin Rashes and sometimes Skin Rashes are caused by changes in the weather or other factors that we can't often identify. So sometimes Skin Rashes are easy to diagnose and sometimes you have to see a patient several times to make a diagnosis because rashes can change from day to day, from week to week and from month to month. Some Skin Rashes are self-limited meaning they occur and they go away on their own and some Skin Rashes become chronic diseases that are not curable. They can often be controllable. Your dermatologist may choose to do a skin biopsy where they take a sample of your skin and send it to a pathologist who can look at the skin microscopically to help make a diagnosis. This is a simple in office procedure that takes less than five minutes to perform and can leave minimal scarring and can lead to very good information that can help in the diagnosis and treatment of your skin condition.
