DERMATITIS

Dermatitis is a common skin rash that causes itchy skin, irritation, and inflammation, and symptoms range from mild to severe. A medical provider from Altaire Clinic will determine what type of dermatitis you have and help you pinpoint what may be causing your symptoms. In some cases, switching to a gentle cleanser, fragrance-free detergent, taking oral antihistamines, and topical therapy can provide relief from dermatitis symptoms.

ECZEMA

Rashes from eczema can be very itchy and uncomfortable. Using certain products can make eczema worse. A new diagnosis of eczema can be scary and overwhelming for some patients since there is no cure for this chronic skin condition. Because of this, you must learn how to manage your symptoms and seek medical treatment for appropriate care. A medical provider at Altaire Clinic can create a treatment plan that can help alleviate symptoms and will go over what you can do to prevent severe eczema flare-ups in the future and what eczema triggers to avoid.

PSORIASIS

Psoriasis is a common skin disorder that can cause flaky, scaly, inflamed, itchy patches of skin that can vary in color. Psoriasis also requires ongoing treatment. By receiving regular medical care, you can reduce the severity of your psoriasis symptoms.

Causes of Rashes and Skin Irritations

The cause of a rash can vary greatly. The symptoms of different types of rashes tend to be similar, which can make it challenging to diagnose. A rash can be caused by a virus, fungal infection, bacteria, genetics, or an allergic reaction, and in some cases, it may be indicative of a serious underlying health problem.

A medical provider at Altaire Clinic will examine the affected area and may order testing if the underlying cause of the rash is not obvious.

Many common skin conditions can cause itchy skin, scaly patches, bumps, and other similar symptoms, including:

Insect bites

Atopic dermatitis ( also referred to as atopic eczema) Fungal infections Poison Ivy Viral infection

Can Skin Irritation & Rashes Be Cured?

Whether or not a rash or skin irritation can be cured is heavily dependent on the type and cause of the rash. Rashes caused by psoriasis or eczema are manageable, but the conditions are not curable and will require ongoing treatment to control symptoms, while other types of rashes may clear up in a matter of days or weeks after seeking treatment from a medical provider.
