Rash: A rash can be like baskin robbins or ben and jerry's....It comes in at least 31 different flavors. Best thing to do is to get in to your primary doctor for evaluation or the best thing is to see a dermatologist, but they tend to have a very long wait list just for a basic rash that might be gone or might have spread by the time they get around to her appointment.

See a doctor: Rashes are much harder to diagnose without being there and then you'd still need to see a doctor for the appropriate prescription. It might be simple or not, but you'll both feel better if it can be diagnosed and treated. Exposure to new environments can bring out allergies that never existed before. Don't worry - just get it looked at. Best!

Make an appointment: All skin lesions can best be diagnosed and treated in person. So the best option is to make an appointment to see a podiatist or dermatologist.
