Introduction
Rashes are a common dermatologic issue characterized by red, inflamed, or irritated skin. They can result from a variety of causes, including allergies, infections, or underlying health conditions. At Atlanta West Dermatology, we specialize in diagnosing the cause of rashes and providing treatments to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Procedure Details
Treatment for rashes depends on the cause and may include:
Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Antihistamines to control itching and allergic reactions.
Antibiotic creams or oral antibiotics for bacterial infections.
Antifungal treatments for rashes caused by fungal infections.
Emollients or moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated and prevent further irritation.
Your dermatologist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the most effective treatment based on the type and severity of the rash.
Recovery & Results
Recovery time varies based on the rash's severity and the treatment used. Most rashes begin to improve within a few days to weeks after starting treatment. Side effects from treatments may include mild irritation, but these are generally short-term.

How long will it take for the rash to go away?
