What are the Most Common Types of Skin Rashes?

Eczema is the most common type describing numerous different conditions where the skin gets red, inflamed, itchy, and scaly. This is not a contagious condition but can cause chronic discomfort and self-consciousness for those who experience it.

Causes of Atopic Eczema

The causes of this common rash are yet to be fully understood by the medical community. While allergies and heredity are thought to be factors in developing common skin rashes, stress and other external factors such as detergents, soaps, and household cleaners may also cause flare-ups. During your consultation, we will help you determine what may be causing your rashes and discuss what you can do to help maintain the health of your skin.

Atopic Eczema Symptoms

When it comes to skin rashes, symptoms can be different for everyone. For adults, skin rashes occur on the elbows and hands frequently but can also develop at the back of knees and the inside of elbows. For the children, it is often seen on the elbows, face, knees, scalp, and neck. Symptoms and signs of atopic eczema include:

  • Skin redness
  • Itchiness
  • Scaly, dry, or crusted skin that might become leathery or thick from prolonged scratching.
  • Infection increased in the areas where the skin is broken.
