Common Rashes
Although rashes are not life threatening, they are often bothersome, uncomfortable, or even painful. The most common types of rashes are heat rash and swimmer's itch. These types of rashes usually clear up on their own. Other forms of rash are rosacea and drug rashes. Both of these require medical attention. If you have one that you are unsure of, then you should see a doctor. A site that gives you pictures of different types of rashes that you can use to help identify your own is www.mayoclinic.com.
