What are the Causes of Skin Rash?

Skin rashes (also known as dermatitis) are extremely common and can occur in people of any age. In fact, many children experience their first rash during infancy in the form of a diaper rash. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one in 10 people will experience a skin rash at least once during their lifetime. Skin rashes are also known to affect up to 25% of children. You'll most often find them in areas of the body such as the feet, hands, or even the diaper area on a child.

Rashes are often harmless, but if you have questions or are experiencing elevated discomfort, you can count on AFC Ladera Ranch!
