Skin Rash Treatment in the Florida Keys
What Is a Skin Rash?
A skin rash, also sometimes referred to as atopic dermatitis, is the general term used to describe redness, discoloration, itchiness, pain or other uncomfortable symptoms that are triggered by certain skin diseases, skin irritants, or skin allergies. Most skin rashes occur on the limbs in small, visible patches. People who suffer from skin diseases, like eczema or psoriasis, are more likely to experience rashes. At Keys Dermatology in Florida, we offer comprehensive skincare services including diagnostic testing for skin rashes. We take a personalized approach to treating your skin condition and always offer tailored treatment plans designed to address your individual needs and concerns.
