A rash is a raised, itchy patch of skin that can appear in small, isolated areas, or spread out over larger areas. Rashes are also known as urticaria, hives, wheals, or welts.
The most common symptom of a rash is itchiness. You may also notice redness on the skin, changes in skin texture, and raised areas or bumps.
Other symptoms will depend on the nature of the rash and may include:
Dry skin
Scales on the skin
Crusty skin
Changes in skin texture such as leatheriness or roughness
Blisters (clear bumps full of fluid)
Rashes occur as the result of a trigger (allergen, temperature, infection, medication, or in some cases, an unknown trigger), which prompts the body to release histamine and other chemical messengers into the skin.
The skin’s response is to open up the blood vessels, which is what causes the red or pinkish colouring, and to release fluid into the tissues, which leads to swelling and itchiness.
