  Noticing a strange rash on your skin can be unsettling, especially when it appears without warning. A rash is your skin's reaction to something-either external, like allergens or irritants, or internal, such as illness, stress, or immune responses. Understanding what might cause an unusual rash can help you decide whether it's something minor or a reason to see a healthcare professional.
  
  Allergic reactions are one of the most frequent causes of rashes. These can happen after eating certain foods, taking medications, or coming into contact with substances like latex, nickel, or certain plants (like poison ivy). Allergic rashes often appear as red, itchy bumps or welts and may come and go depending on exposure.
  
  Another common cause is contact dermatitis, which results when your skin is irritated by a product or material. Common triggers include new soaps, detergents, skincare products, or even certain fabrics. These rashes usually appear in the area that touched the irritant and may be dry, flaky, or blistered.
  
  Stress can also lead to breakouts or skin irritation. High levels of stress affect your immune system and hormone levels, which may cause conditions like eczema or hives to flare up. These stress-related rashes may itch or burn and usually improve once the emotional or physical stress is reduced.
  
  In some cases, a rash can signal an infection. Viral infections like chickenpox, measles, or shingles cause noticeable rashes and often come with fever and fatigue. Fungal infections, such as ringworm, appear as red, circular patches and are often itchy. Bacterial infections like cellulitis require prompt medical treatment.
  
  If your rash spreads quickly, is painful, involves swelling, or comes with fever or trouble breathing, it's essential to seek medical attention immediately. Some rashes may be signs of more serious conditions, such as autoimmune diseases or severe allergies.

  When dealing with persistent or unexplained skin rashes, phototherapy can be an effective treatment option. It uses controlled light exposure to reduce inflammation and promote healing, especially in conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Consulting a specialist about phototherapy may provide relief when traditional treatments aren’t enough and help improve skin health over time.
