Rash Treatment in Tucson, Casa Grande, and Vail, AZ
Rashes can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes worrisome, particularly when they don't go away, spread, or itch intensely. At Catalina Dermatology, with locations in Tucson, Casa Grande, and Vail, AZ, our skilled staff, led by Dr. Ronald Mann, PA Reusch, and PA Gustaveson, provides expert diagnosis and treatment of all types of rashes. Whether the rash is caused by an allergy, an infection, or an underlying skin condition, our objective is to provide long-lasting relief and clear your skin.
What Causes Rashes
Rashes can be acute or chronic, ranging from mild to severe. Some are caused by allergies or irritants (contact dermatitis); others are secondary to long-standing disorders such as eczema or psoriasis. Viral, bacterial, or fungal infection is also a frequent cause. Heat, stress, medications, and immune response are all potential causes of rashes.
Our dermatologists thoroughly examine your symptoms and medical history to identify the underlying cause. We can conduct further testing or a skin biopsy to confirm a proper diagnosis.
When to Visit a Dermatologist
Although some rashes are benign, others should be evaluated by an expert. It's time to visit a dermatologist when the rash:
- Persists for more than a few days or gets worse over time
- Causes intense itching, pain, or blisters
- Spreads from the initial location or develops evidence of infection
- It is also followed by fatigue or fever
- Does not react to over-the-counter medications
Individuals with underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or a weakened immune system, should be particularly cautious about rashes that are developing or worsening.
How We Treat Rashes at Catalina Dermatology
Dr. Mann, PA Reusch, and PA Gustaveson develop individualized treatment plans for your diagnosis and skin type. Treatment can include prescription topical medications, oral medications, or antifungal or antibacterial treatments. We might prescribe light therapy or immunomodulating medication if you have a chronic or inflammatory rash. We also guide skin care regimens and lifestyle changes to prevent flare-ups and promote long-term skin health and well-being.
