Itching to Get Rid of a Rash?

More than 15% of all people will experience an itchy rash at some point in their lives. These rashes can include hives, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and contact dermatitis (poison oak-like reactions) and affect both adults and children.

A chronic rash can have adverse effects on the mental and physical well-being of patients, particularly children. However, many of these rashes are readily treated once an appropriate diagnosis is made. See your primary physician or ask for a referral to an allergist or dermatologist if you have a rash that's getting the best of you.
