Pictures of Skin Rashes

From LoveToKnow Skincare

It can be frightening and confusing when an unusual rash appears. We begin to ask, "Is it dangerous?" "Am I sick?" "Is it caused by something I ate or medicine I took?"

While they are not a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis, pictures of skin rashes can help us sort through the confusion. Look at our pictures and read the associated articles.

When in doubt, though, it really is best to consult with your physician or dermatologist.

Eclypsia, sorry to hear about this. Have you changed any products in your personal regimen lately - detergent, lotion or soap, for example? It's tough to determine what this could be otherwise. I'd suggest seeing a dermatologist. Best of luck.

I have had a rash on my arms and legs for about two months that is itchy and at first looks like hives, but then the marks turn to small bumps (that don't appear to have any fluid in them,) and scab over WITHOUT scratching. The scabs linger for about 2-3 weeks each, even though I am a fast healer, and then leave a scar that doesn't seem to go away. Can you please help me identify this embarrassing rash?!

Jen, it's possible you were exposed to something that caused this sudden outbreak. I'd visit a dermatologist at the earliest possible time to get this checked out. Good luck.
