What Are Rashes?
Skin rashes and itching can appear suddenly or linger with irritation that doesn't seem to fade. Owen Health Group can provide relief for this ailment. A skin rash is any noticeable change in the color, texture, or feel of your skin. Some types of rashes are mild and go away quickly. Others may stick around, spread, or become painful. Common types of rashes include:
- Contact dermatitis
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Heat rash
- Hives
There are many causes of rashes, such as allergic reactions, infections, autoimmune conditions, and heat or sweat. Even stress or certain medications can lead to skin rashes and itching. If you have a rash that's bothering you or getting worse, we can help. Schedule a dermatology consultation at Owen Health Group in Lubbock or Snyder, TX to find much-needed relief.
How Are Rashes Treated?
Rash treatment depends on the cause and severity. Some rashes need only simple care while others require prescription medication or ongoing management. At Owen Health Group, we tailor every rash treatment to fit your symptoms, skin type, and lifestyle. We may recommend:
- Topical creams to calm irritation
- Antihistamines to reduce skin rashes and itching
- Antibiotics or antifungals if there's an infection
- Steroid treatments for inflammatory skin conditions
- Patch testing to find allergy triggers
When Should I Worry About a Rash?
Some rashes are harmless, but others may be a sign of something more serious. Pay close attention to the signs of a rash that could need medical care, such as:
- Spreading rash
- Pain or swelling
- Blisters or open sores
- Fever with rash
- Skin that peels or cracks
- Rash that doesn't improve with home care
- Severe itching that keeps you up at night
Don't ignore these rash symptoms. Early care can prevent complications.
Owen Health Group Reviews
Always a great experience. Fantastic group of professionals.
Everyone from reception, nurses and doctor were very pleasant and attended to every need. ALL questions were answered and so were prayers!!
I LOVE Dr.Jenn because she handles business quickly. Let's be real no woman enjoys having a Pap smear. But, she also takes time to listen to you at every visit, does not act like she knows your body better than you or how you should feel, and she acknowledges when you as a patient are willing to advocate for yourself.
Dr. Jennifer Owen is amazing. The amount of time and attention she gives her patients is by far the most I’ve ever seen. She’s so easy to talk to and I am so thankful she is my doctor!
Everyone has been so kind, thoughtful and positive. I am happy that I made the decision to go to Owen Health group after the retirement of the doctor I had been going to for 34 years! Thank you for making the transition so smooth and stress free!
