Rashes are alarming precisely because they are hard to interpret at home. Both UrgentMed clinics evaluate rashes, hives, bites and allergic reactions for adults and children on a walk-in basis, treating the symptoms and identifying the reactions that need closer attention.
Skin problems we treat
What we evaluate
- Hives and allergic skin reactions
- Contact reactions such as poison ivy
- Insect bites and stings
- Animal and human bites, with wound care
- Skin infections including cellulitis
- Shingles
- Eczema and dermatitis flares

At your visit

What to expect at your visit
- Tell us the timeline — when it started, what is new in your environment, medications or foods.
- Examination of the rash and the rest of you, since some rashes are a sign of something systemic.
- Treatment during the visit where appropriate, plus prescriptions sent to your pharmacy.
- Clear warning signs to watch for, and when to come back or seek emergency care.
When to go to the emergency room instead
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Feeling faint or losing consciousness
- A rapidly spreading rash with a high fever
- Blistering or peeling skin over large areas — call 911
