Skin Rashes & Infections FAQ in Westlake, OH

How do you get rid of a rash that won’t go away?

After exposure, wash the area with water to remove all traces of the irritant/allergen. Applying moisturizers will help the skin moisten and speed up the healing process. Your healthcare provider may prescribe creams or ointments to help. Corticosteroid pills are reserved for only the most severe cases.

Why do I keep getting infections in my body?

Not washing your hands. Not scrubbing up after you use the bathroom or before you touch your nose and mouth can lead to repeat infections. That’s especially true if you get colds or the flu often. It may seem like you’re getting the same infection, but you might be getting infected with different viruses.

What do cancerous rashes look like?

What does a cancerous rash look like? Cancerous rashes, marks, and moles can vary in their appearance. If you notice a red, scaly patch on your skin that itches, cracks, or bleeds — and doesn’t seem to be healing — there is a chance it could be cancerous.

How do you know if your body is fighting an infection?

Fever (this is sometimes the only sign of an infection). Chills and sweats. Change in cough or a new cough. Sore throat or new mouth sore.

What infections cause skin rashes?

Examples of rashes caused by infection include scarlet fever, measles, mononucleosis, and shingles. The rash is sudden and spreads rapidly. This could be the result of an allergy. Allergies to medications are common, and some can be serious.

Do you need antibiotics for skin rash?

Antibiotics are not used to treat skin problems that are caused by viruses or allergies. But sometimes bacteria get into a skin problem you already have. Then you may need this medicine. Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety.

Can the body heal an infection by itself?

Once unfriendly bacteria enter your body, your body’s immune system tries to fight them off. But oftentimes, your body can’t fight the infection naturally, and you need to take antibiotics – medication that kills the bacteria.

Why have I suddenly got a rash?

There are a number of potential causes of rashes, including allergies, diseases, reactions, and medications. They can also be caused by bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic infections.

What kind of rash lasts for months?

Hives — also called urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh) — is a skin reaction that causes itchy welts. Chronic hives are welts that last for more than six weeks and return often over months or years.

How do I identify a rash?

Itching. Skin redness. Flaking skin. Dry, scaly, or crusted skin that can become thick and leathery from scratching. Small, fluid-filled blisters that may ooze when scratched. Infection of the areas of broken skin.
