What causes a rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Rashes can be caused from a very wide range of possibilities. These can include infections, contact rashes, irritant rashes, just to name a few. Within these categories the list is extensive and much more than the characters allow. In a very brief statement, a rash is your body's response to a given irritant or infection. This can be from something external in the environment or internal within the body.
