Skin Rash Treatment Available Daily to Walk-In Patients in Marmora, NJ
A skin rash is often a sign that you or your child is having an allergic reaction to something touched or ingested. In many cases, the skin rash will go away in a few days without professional medical treatment. But in the meantime, an itchy rash can ruin your day or spoil your vacation. Moreover, especially in the case of children, an untreated skin rash can become so itchy that the urge to scratch it is irresistible, and that can lead to a more serious infection.
There’s no need to suffer through a skin rash, though, if you’re in the Marmora, New Jersey, area. Cape Regional Urgent Care has a walk-in clinic staffed by board-certified doctors who can accurately diagnose your skin rash and provide effective treatment so you can feel better fast. We’re open during extended hours every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, and our wait times are short. We also accept many insurance plans.
Step One in Treating Your Skin Rash: Identify the Cause
There are many harmless substances that your body’s immune system may mistakenly identify as a threat, prompting an allergic reaction that causes skin inflammation. Some of the common causes of skin rash in the Marmora area include:
- Food and drug allergies
- Heat exhaustion or heatstroke
- “Sea lice” (jellyfish larvae) bites and jellyfish stings
- Vasculitis, also known as “Disney rash” or “golfer’s rash”
Additionally, some skin rashes are caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Cape Regional Urgent Care has an on-site lab that allows our medical practitioners to provide same-day testing for many non-life-threatening health conditions. Once we’ve identified the cause of your skin rash, we can provide an effective treatment plan to speed your recovery.
In some cases, a skin rash may require emergency room treatment. If you or someone you’re with has a rash that covers most of the body and is experiencing fever, chills, breathing difficulties, or dizziness, you should call 911 or head to the ER right away.
