rash

A rash is an abnormal change in the skin’s appearance, often presenting as redness, swelling, bumps, or irritation. It can result from various causes such as allergic reactions, infections, contact with irritants, or underlying health conditions. Rashes may be itchy, painful, or silent, and can appear anywhere on the body. They usually develop over a period of hours or days and may resolve on their own or require treatment. Recognizing the type and cause of a rash can help determine appropriate care, but consulting a healthcare professional is recommended if it persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms.
