Types of Rashes

There are a range of different types of rashes, the most common of which include:

  • Bacterial/Viral Rashes: Illnesses and diseases like chickenpox, rubella, measles  and other viruses can cause viral rashes. Meningitis can be viral or bacterial, presenting with a petechial rash, and impetigo presents with a bacterial rash.
  • Diaper Rash: A form of dermatitis on babies’ bottoms that may be caused by prolonged exposure to feces or urine, chafing, or a yeast infection.
  • Eczema: Chronic inflammatory condition caused by an overactive immune response and allergies.
  • Fungal Rash: Common fungal infections that cause skin rashes, including jock itch, athlete’s foot, scalp ringworm, ringworm, and yeast infections.
  • Heat Rash: Hot weather can block sweat glands which causes heat rash, which can be exacerbated by poor circulation and dampness. Wearing loose clothing during hot weather reduces your risk of developing heat rash.
  • Hives: Can be caused by stress, immune response, or an allergic reaction causing welts and often itching.
  • Poison Ivy, Oak, or Sumac: All three plants contain urushiol oil, which commonly triggers an allergy rash. Medical intervention may be necessary if the rash is affecting sensitive areas like the eyes or mouth or is covering extensive areas of the skin.
  • Psoriasis: Non-contagious autoimmune skin disease whose symptoms are silvery scales and thick red skin patches.
  • Rash from Insects: Stings and bites of insects (bed bugs, mosquitos, chiggers, ticks) can cause a rash, some of which may require medical attention.

Treating a Rash

Treatment of a rash will be dependent on the underlying cause of the rash.

  • Common rashes: Prescription or over-the-counter treatments such as calamine lotion or hydrocortisone
  • Allergic rashes: Poison ivy or hives can often be treated with oral antihistamines
  • Insect bites: The rash may not be serious and will often go away naturally or with prescription or over-the-counter treatments, though it is important to seek medical attention if the rash is accompanied with body aches, fever, and/or a headache special care and attention.
  • Heat rashes: Often go away naturally provided light and loose clothing are worn during hot weather
  • Illnesses: The rash may not be serious, but it is important to get a medical diagnosis to determine the underlying cause
