A member asked:

Can i get a prescription for a weird rash, at a dermatologist's consultation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Dermatologists treat rashes. That is their specialty. It is up to the doctor to determine what medicine may be appropriate. That may be a prescription, or over the counter medications might be appropriate.
