Rashes & Skin Allergies

Expert diagnosis and relief for rashes, hives, and skin allergies, getting to the cause of irritated, itchy, or inflamed skin.

Rashes and skin allergies can be uncomfortable and frustrating, especially when the cause is not obvious. Our dermatologists are skilled at recognizing the many conditions that can make skin red, itchy, bumpy, or inflamed, and at distinguishing between them so you receive the correct treatment.

We take a careful history and examine your skin closely, and when needed we use diagnostic tools such as biopsies or allergy patch testing to pinpoint the cause. Identifying whether a rash is allergic, irritant, infectious, or related to another condition is the key to lasting relief.

Once we understand what is happening, we treat the active rash to relieve symptoms quickly and create a plan to prevent it from returning. For allergic reactions, that includes helping you identify and avoid the triggers responsible.
