A member asked:

Should i go to a dermatologist or an allergist about an allergic rash?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you are sure it is allergic and want to find out what you may be allergic to, i'd sat the allergist. If there is any doubt, go to see your primary doc or a dermatologist.
