If you have a general rash, not a condition like shingles, psoriasis, or eczema, your skin will likely return to normal within two to three weeks of your rash appearing. During that time, it is important to avoid exposure to any known allergens or irritants. You may apply a topical moisturizer or ointment to soothe the irritation and speed up the healing process. If, during the few weeks of having a rash, the condition gets worse, schedule an appointment with us! A prompt examination of irritated skin can help you avoid unwanted and unnecessary stress.
