Rashes

Overview :

A rash may occur on only one area of the skin, or it could cover almost all of the body. Also, a rash may or may not be itchy. Depending on how it looks, a rash may be described as:

• blistering (raised oval or round collections of fluid within or beneath the outer layer of skin)
• macular (flat spots)
• nodular (small, firm, knotty rounded mass)
• papular (small solid slightly raised areas)
• pustular (pus-containing skin blister).
