What Causes Skin Infections and Rashes?

Skin is always exposed to external stimuli, so it can react to several things in the environment, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of irritation or infection. While some people know exactly what caused their infection, it’s common to have no idea why you’re experiencing a skin issue. Here are some things that may cause skin infection, irritation or a rash:

Allergens (pollen, pet dander, dust mites)
Bacteria
Irritants, commonly soaps, detergents, cosmetics, perfumes or fabrics
Sun exposure
Fungi
Viruses
Physical irritants, such as friction or rubbing
Hormonal changes (puberty or menopause)
Parasites, such as scabies or lice
Autoimmune disorders (common cause of psoriasis or eczema)

When Should I Visit AFC Urgent Care for My Skin Issue?

No matter the condition, it’s best to treat your skin issue as soon as possible. It’s not always convenient to schedule an appointment with your primary doctor or a dermatologist, and in most cases, it’s not necessary to visit an emergency room. At AFC Urgent Care, you can visit our walk-in clinic with no appointment 7 days a week. So, when you notice a skin infection or other skin issue developing, you can get efficient care and treatment at your convenience.
