Question 9

i am experiencing  rash on back. the following also describes me: rash on arms and neck 
what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Rashes are quite hard to describe and diagnose in words. A primary doctor, or a dermatologist, can look at it in order to tell what it is. If dry skin or eczema rash, hydrocortisone cream helps. Some rashes are an allergy to something. Hydrocortisone also helps allergic rashes. Ringworm (fungus) would need an antifungal. If it doesn't go away, a dermatologist can tell if it is something serious.
