Treatment of Skin Rashes in Southern California
Finding a rash on your skin or your child can be quiet distressing, especially if you don't know the cause of the irritation. If you've never experienced a rash before or if you've never seen the type of inflammation you are currently experiencing, self diagnosis is not recommended. Even though most rashes are not dangerous, expert medical diagnosis is recommended for all unknown skin irritants to safely determine the cause and proper treatment of your rash. To immediately schedule an appointment with award winning, board certified Dermatologist, Susan M. Stuart, M.D., you can call La Jolla Dermatology at calling 858-623-6333 or you can request a consultation online.
The treatment of skin rashes must be individualized. Facial skin is more delicate and more visible than some body skin. Baby skin is far more fragile than adolescent skin, and must be treated so as not to damage the dermis (deeper) layer of skin. At her San Diego skin care practice, Dr. Stuart has the distinction of being an expert Dermatologist with additional specialized experience in pediatric dermatology making her uniquely qualified to treat both adults and children suffering from any type of skin irritation.
Rash Treatments at La Jolla Dermatology
Rashes and skin irritations are caused by many different factors including illness, allergies, insect bites and even heredity. Most rashes are not contagious, but in the event that a contagion is found, proper precautions will be taken to contain the rash. Rest assured that there is a medical treatment for almost every type of rash and skin irritation.
During your first visit to La Jolla Dermatology, Dr. Stuart will examine your rash and obtain a complete medical history. In most cases, rash treatment will consist of a prescription for a topical medical cream to reduce inflammation or physician strength skin care products. In some cases, laser or chemical treatments might be necessary. In rarer cases, Dr. Stuart may need to take a tissue sample to determine the exact cause and extent of the rash. Once a determination for treatment is made, Dr. Stuart will explain your options to you in detail.
Dr. Stuart will discuss any side effects or precautions necessary for your treatment or recovery. In most cases, with proper medical treatment, skin irritations will clear up in a reasonable time period.
