Many things --> Rash: Thank you for your question. An eruption on the skin could be caused by a number of things. There are different types of inflammatory conditions of the skin that could cause a rash as well as responses to external sources such as sunlight or other ultraviolet exposure. Having an examination performed by a qualified medical practitioner would be helpful in diagnosis and treatment.
