If you have any skin rashes that need treatment in NYC, Dr. Sheryl Clark is ready to use her expertise to help you find relief.

From insect bites to allergic reactions, skin rashes can appear suddenly and seemingly without cause at times. At MD Skin Science, Dr. Clark uses advanced methods to treat skin rashes when they appear, helping you restore your skin to a healthy and clear state.

What Causes Skin Rashes?

Skin rashes can appear suddenly and without an obvious cause at times. In other instances, they can be instantly recognizable. But almost all skin rashes share the trait of being unpleasant and highly visible. In some cases, they can go away on their own or once the cause has been eliminated. In other cases, they can be persistent and even spread further without proper treatment.

Some of the most common skin rashes are caused by:

• Insect Bites: Including fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and more. Many people also have additional allergic reactions to insect bites.
• Poison Ivy: Countless people who have visited nature come away with rashes from poison ivy, poison oak, or stinging nettle.
• Fifth Disease: More common in children than adults.
• Rosacea: A chronic skin disease that goes through cycles of flareups.
• Impetigo: Most common in babies and children.
• Fungal Infections: Including ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch.
• Contact Dermatitis: An allergic response brought on by making contact with an allergen.
• Various Skin Diseases: Including psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

How Can Skin Rash Treatment Help?

Skin rash treatment tends to focus on two main factors: reducing any physical discomfort from the rash and reducing the rash itself. Since rashes can appear anywhere on the body, they can range from mild discomfort to full on interruptions to your daily life. 

Finding the right treatment for your rash is crucial to getting results that work. Sometimes, treating skin rashes in the wrong way can only serve to worsen the symptoms. Because of this, seeing a professional dermatologist like Dr. Clark is your best chance for getting the right treatment the first time around.

If you have a rash that is causing you discomfort or seems to be worsening, it may be time to seek professional treatment.

What Is the Treatment Like?

We offer several options for treating skin rashes as they occur. Some treatments aim to treat milder or more temporary cases, while others are designed for more severe rashes or chronic medical conditions.

Topical Treatments

Many skin rashes respond well to medical ointments and topical creams. However, choosing the right one is vital, as some rashes might only worsen if you apply the wrong topical on your own. Ranging from topical steroids to soothing creams, we can match you with a treatment that will give you and your skin the relief you have been needing.

Light & Laser Therapy

Laser treatments can effectively treat a wide range of skin rashes and skin conditions overall. This treatment is best for recurring rashes, such as those caused by psoriasis or rosacea. These treatments are well tolerated and provide impressive results for patients suffering from chronic skin conditions.

Which Skin Rash Treatment Is Right for Me?

Finding the right treatment depends on being able to identify the rash. As a trained dermatologist, Dr. Clark has experience identifying and treating rashes of all kinds. When you come in for an appointment, she can conduct a full examination of your situation and identify the type of rash and the most likely cause. Fortunately, many rashes tend to follow different patterns, depending on their cause.

When Can I See Results?

Each of your treatments is designed to provide you with rapid and effective results. For topical treatments, you can experience near-instant relief from discomfort and see a rapid reduction in the visibility of your rash over the next couple of days. Laser treatments can provide results after a single session, but patients may need more than one treatment to treat more severe cases of rashes, such as those caused by psoriasis, rosacea, or eczema.
