Rashes
There are a many different sorts of 'rashes' and just as many different causes. Some rashes are related to internal medical problems, but many are not. To establish the type of rash and/or cause, you will need a skin examination and you may need investigations, such as skin biopsy, swab, scraping or blood test.
If you are attending our dermatologists in regards to a rash, the following would be extremely valuable:
A general timeline
A list of the treatments you have used to date
The results of any blood tests or investigations
Your own personal medical history
A list of medications and supplements you take.
Because your rash may be an expression of an internal conditions, things that you might no believe to be relevant, can be extremely important to your diagnosis, or your future treatment.
