About Skin Rash and Allergy
A skin rash is a change in the colour, texture or feel of the skin, such as redness, itching, bumps or hives. Allergies cause them when the body’s defences react strongly to something harmless like a food, drug, plant or insect sting.
Care and Treatment for Skin Rash and Allergy
Pictures and a video call let the doctor judge the rash, recommend antihistamines or skin creams, identify likely triggers and say if you need to be seen in person. Treatment can involve antihistamines, soothing or mild steroid creams and avoiding the trigger.
- Note what you ate, touched or took before it started
- Avoid scratching and the suspected trigger
- Rinse skin with clean water after contact with irritants
