Symptom: Rash
Rash:
Rash of any type affecting the skin.
Introduction:
There are many possible causes of a rash and any rash needs
prompt investigation by a doctor or a

Rashes can be caused by illnesses such as viruses (e.g

or systemic conditions (e.g.
lupus ), by
allergies such as
hives or
eczema ,
parasites like
lice in
scabies ,
by reactions to chemicals, and by numerous other causes.
