Eczema
Eczema and atopic dermatitis may define the same skin problem, which causes your skin to become red and intensely itch because of environmental and genetic factors. You may develop eczema because of hot weather and coming into contact with chemicals and detergents, and the condition may affect your elbows, feet, and ankles. Therefore, wearing gloves may be crucial when working with chemicals to avoid irritation to your skin. Before seeing a dermatologist, you may need to avoid scratching because it thickens the skin, thus increasing your urge to scratch more. You may also have to avoid staying in the shower for long and instead go for baths with oatmeal and baking soda.
Contact Dermatitis
You may trigger this eczema when you come into contact with something that may cause an allergic reaction and irritation to your skin. The two forms of contact dermatitis include irritant, which develops when your skin touches a chemical, and allergic, which occurs as a reaction to some substances. You may require OTC prescriptions like topical cortisone to help with your rashes. Unfortunately, your dermatologist can offer no cure for these two sensitivities. Instead, you may need prevention tips like avoiding what may cause this rash, though that may not be easy.
Fungal Infections
You may develop ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch, which majorly occurs in warm and moist skin areas like underarms and groins. Warmth and moisture create a suitable breeding environment for fungus, which will cause ring-shaped rashes, itchiness, and burning. Your dermatologist will prescribe antifungal creams and recommend keeping your groins dry, wearing microfiber socks, and loose-fitting underwear to prevent fungal infections.
Bacterial Infections
You may develop bacterial infections, which start mildly and later become major concerns, especially if not addressed at the onset. You will likely develop bacterial infections when you have untreated insect bites and wounds, which make it simple for bacteria to enter your body and cause infections. Your dermatologist may recommend antibiotic ointments to clear small beginning bacterial infections and oral medication if you have a large affected skin. However, if you begin to notice yellow pus spotting, increased pain, color changes, and fever, you may need immediate medical attention.
