Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A rash is an outbreak of several red patches or bumps on the body. When a rash occurs on the body, it can change the color, texture and general appearance of the skin.
The causes of most rashes can easily be diagnosed by simple examination. Most rash outbreaks are not usually contagious and go away over time or if treated with a mild ointment or medication. Note that some rashes might be symptoms underlying illnesses such as HIV.

Some common skin rashes include:

*Hives (Urticaria)
*Eczema
*Psoriasis
*Scabies
*Heat Rash
*Poison Ivy
*Ringworm
*Impetigo
*Shingles
*Chicken pox
*Measles
*Fifth's disease
*Seborrhea
*Scarletina

These rashes can be caused by an underlying illness or could be caused by allergies or reaction to chemical agents such as Laundry soaps, insect bites and even wool fibers.

If your rash comes with other symptoms like headaches, aches and nausea, you should see a doctor.
