Skin Rashes
Rashes are one of the most common reasons people seek dermatologic care, and for good reason. They can be itchy, uncomfortable, persistent, or difficult to identify since many skin conditions can appear very similar on the surface. Rashes may develop suddenly or gradually and can affect small areas of skin or larger portions of the body.
There are many possible causes of rashes, including allergic reactions, eczema, infections, autoimmune conditions, heat, medications, irritants, and inflammatory skin disorders. Because symptoms can overlap, an accurate diagnosis is important for selecting the right treatment and avoiding unnecessary irritation or worsening of symptoms.
Because different rashes often share similar symptoms, proper evaluation is important for identifying the cause and selecting the most effective treatment approach. Environmental triggers, stress, skincare products, and underlying health conditions may also contribute to flare-ups or recurring irritation.
At wellwell, we take a personalized and evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating rashes. Our goal is to calm inflammation, relieve discomfort, protect the skin barrier, and help prevent recurring flare-ups through treatment plans tailored to your skin and symptoms.

Our treatment approach is personalized to your skin type, symptoms, and the underlying cause of irritation. Here are some of the common conditions we treat and the treatments we may use to help support healthier skin.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
A chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, greasy scale and redness, commonly affecting the scalp, eyebrows, ears, and sides of the nose. Treatment may include antifungal shampoos, topical anti-inflammatory medications, and maintenance therapy to help manage flare-ups and reduce recurrence.
Intertrigo

Treatment may include barrier creams, topical antifungals, anti-inflammatory medications, and prevention strategies focused on reducing moisture and friction.
