Our Skin Rash Treatment Approach
At True Compassion Urgent Care, we perform a thorough visual examination and take a detailed history to identify the cause of your rash. We consider factors such as recent exposures, new products or medications, medical history, and the rash's appearance and distribution. Based on our evaluation, we provide appropriate treatment which may include topical medications, oral antihistamines, antibiotics for infected rashes, or corticosteroids for inflammatory conditions.

Recovery & Skin Care
Recovery time depends on the type of rash and its underlying cause. Many rashes improve significantly within a few days of starting treatment. For allergic rashes, relief often begins within hours of taking antihistamines. We provide specific instructions for caring for your skin during recovery, including avoiding irritants, proper bathing practices, and applying medications correctly. Return to our clinic if your rash worsens, spreads significantly, becomes painful, or is accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat—these may indicate a serious allergic reaction requiring immediate care.
