Common Rash Types

Seborrheic Dermatitis

This is the most frequent rash among adults, often accompanied by itching. It can appear on the scalp, cheeks, forehead, and ears.

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Eczema is well-known in both children and adults, presenting as a red, itchy rash that can occur anywhere on the body.

Contact Dermatitis

This rash results from contact with specific chemicals, leading to an allergic reaction. Examples include poison ivy, poison sumac, or poison oak, often causing intense itching and oozing.

Diaper Rash

Typically seen in infants, diaper rash can affect adults too. It arises when urine and/or feces remain in contact with the skin for extended periods.

Drug-Related Rash

Antibiotics and various prescribed or over-the-counter medications can sometimes lead to rashes that resemble those from common viral infections.

Hives

Hives are characterized by red, itchy bumps that typically resolve within 24 hours.

Heat Rash

Heat rash occurs when sweat ducts become clogged during hot or humid weather, resulting in small clusters resembling pimples or blisters. Relief often involves moving to a cooler environment and applying hydrocortisone cream.

If your rash persists despite home care, consider visiting one of our locations for professional evaluation and treatment.

Common Causes of Nausea:

Stomach Flu: Also known as viral gastroenteritis, this intestinal infection can cause symptoms like diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and vomiting.
Medication: Changes in medication, including starting a new prescription, can sometimes induce nausea. If this side effect becomes unmanageable, consult your prescribing provider, especially if vomiting occurs.

Anesthesia: After undergoing surgery involving anesthesia, nausea and vomiting are common side effects.
