Skin Rashes & Infections FAQ in Richmond, CA

What do lymphoma rashes look like?

When a rash caused by skin lymphoma (also referred to as cutaneous lymphoma) is in its early stages, it often presents as small patches of dry, red skin on the torso, buttocks or another area of the body. At this stage, the rash often resembles dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis.

What does it mean if a rash is spreading?

Sudden, spreading rashes can indicate an allergic reaction which, if accompanied by difficulty breathing, are extremely dangerous. If your rash blisters or develops open sores, or shows signs of infection, it’s important to get treatment as soon as possible. In short, see a doctor if you have a rash.

Do some viruses cause rashes?

Many viral infections can cause a rash in addition to other symptoms. Rashes are very common with viral infections, especially in young children. It is very important to make sure the rash is not part of a serious infection – eg, meningococcal infection which can be associated with meningitis.

What does it mean if a rash doesn’t go away?

Do you have a prolonged rash or patch of irritated skin? Do you get unexplained blisters, scaling, or areas of tenderness that are difficult to soothe or are unresponsive to your usual moisturizer?

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.

Can organ issues cause a rash?

When kidneys cannot remove waste from your body, a rash can develop. One rash that occurs in people who have end-stage kidney disease causes small, dome-shaped, and extremely itchy bumps. As these bumps clear, new ones can form. Sometimes, the small bumps join together to form rough, raised patches.

Where does sepsis usually start?

Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract.

What is the most common bacterial skin infection?

Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the U.S. Most of these skin infections are minor (such as pimples and boils), are not spread to others (not infectious), and usually can be treated without antibiotics.

How can you tell if a rash is serious?

You have a rash that covers the body. This indicates something concerning, such as an infection or allergic reaction. You have a fever with the rash. If this is the case, go to the emergency room. The rash is sudden and spreads rapidly. The rash is painful. The rash is infected.

What is the most serious skin infection?

1. Necrotising fasciitis. Necrotising fasciitis is a severe infection of the skin, the tissue below the skin, and the fascia (fibrous tissue that separates muscles and organs), resulting in tissue death, or necrosis. The infection is rapid, fast-spreading and fatal if not detected and treated early.

How do I know if my rash is bacterial?

Pus or fluid leaking out of the cut. Red skin around the injury. A red streak that runs from the cut toward your heart. A pimple or yellowish crust on top. Sores that look like blisters. Pain that gets worse after a few days.

What are the 5 types of skin infections?

Common skin infections include cellulitis, erysipelas, impetigo, folliculitis, and furuncles and carbuncles.

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.
