“After a year of seeing five other physicians for a rash on my back that no one could heal, Dr Hafeez determined the cause and treated me. In approximately two months, I was well on my way to healing. Words can’t say how much I appreciate, and how thankful I am to him and his staff for the dedication they had to my healing.”

Rashes Frequently Asked Questions

Can stress cause a rash?

Yes. Stress can trigger or worsen certain rashes like eczema, hives, or psoriasis. Managing stress is often part of comprehensive treatment.

Is every rash contagious?

No. Some are infectious, while others are allergic or autoimmune. A dermatology evaluation helps determine the difference and guide precautions.

Do I need a referral to see a rash doctor?

Not always. Many insurance plans allow self-referral for dermatology, especially for persistent or worsening skin issues.

What if the rash keeps coming back?

Recurring rashes may be due to chronic conditions, environmental exposures, or hidden allergies. Identifying the cause is key to stopping the cycle.

Are rashes in children treated differently?

Yes, often. Pediatric skin may react differently, and medications or dosages must be age-appropriate. We provide care for children, teens, and adults.

Can a rash be a sign of something serious?

In rare cases, yes. Rashes that don’t respond to treatment, spread rapidly, or come with fever or pain should be evaluated promptly.
