Common Skin Rash Causes in the Cape May Area

The first step toward getting effective skin rash treatment is to identify what’s causing the condition. Skin rashes are often symptoms of an allergic reaction. In the Cape May area, common causes of this type of skin rash include:

Sea Lice Bites

This skin rash is actually caused by tiny jellyfish larvae—not lice—that become trapped in swimmers’ bathing suits and provoke an itchy skin irritation known as “seabather’s eruption.”

Jellyfish Stings

Visitors and local residents alike often suffer the consequences—including pain and an itchy skin rash—of coming into contact with the tentacles of a jellyfish while spending time at the beach.

Food and Drug Allergies

Sometimes people develop skin rashes after taking certain medications or eating food that induces an allergic reaction.

Skin rashes can also be caused by the body overheating or contracting a viral or bacterial infection. The board-certified doctors at Cape Regional Urgent Care have a wealth of experience in diagnosing and treating skin rashes. However, there are some skin rashes that require emergency medical treatment. If you or someone you’re with is experiencing fever, chills, a rash that covers most of the body, breathing difficulties, confusion, or dizziness, it’s best to seek emergency room treatment immediately.
