Rashes can be more than just a temporary annoyance; they often cause itching, burning, redness, and discomfort that interfere with daily life and affect confidence. At Commonwealth Dermatology in Richmond, VA, our board-certified dermatologists provide professional evaluations and targeted treatments to address both the appearance and underlying causes of your rash. Recognizing the type of rash is crucial for effective treatment and lasting relief, so patients no longer have to feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, or uncertain about their skin condition.

Rashes can take many forms: contact dermatitis caused by irritants like chemicals, fragrances, or poison ivy; allergic reactions from foods or medications; seborrheic dermatitis presenting as red, scaly patches on the scalp, face, or chest; viral or bacterial rashes including eczema, psoriasis, impetigo, or pityriasis rosea; systemic disease rashes linked to autoimmune disorders or childhood illnesses; sun- or heat-induced rashes like heat rash or PMLE; and stress-related rashes that appear suddenly and worsen without warning.
