Rashes & Allergic Reactions
Diagnosis and treatment of various rashes and skin allergies
About This Service
Rashes and allergic skin reactions can appear suddenly or develop over time, causing discomfort, itching, and concern. At Stutz Dermatology, we evaluate rashes to determine their cause - whether allergic, infectious, inflammatory, or related to other factors. Our systematic approach helps identify the underlying issue and provides appropriate treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. We also offer patch testing for suspected contact allergies.
