A rash is a change in the skin which affects its appearance or texture. A rash may be localised to one part of the body, or affect all the skin. Rashes may cause the skin to change colour, itch, become warm, bumpy, dry, cracked or blistered, swell and may be painful. The causes, and therefore treatments for, rashes vary widely. Diagnosis must take into account such things as the appearance of the rash, other symptoms, what the patient may have been exposed to, occupation, and occurrence in family members.

Skin rash pictures can be used as a comparison and can give some indication of the type of skin rash however this method is not reliable because pictures of skin rashes vary greatly and many skin disorders change frequently.
The skin is usually a good 'barometer' of how healthy the body is. A skin rash will often reflect toxicity throughout the body at a deeper level such as in the surrounding tissues, lymph system, and liver.
If the skin is not receiving the proper nutrients, or if the systemic toxicity level is too high, this will 'weaken' the skin and make it susceptible to a skin rash or other types of problems.
