Rashes

Rashes can appear suddenly and disrupt your daily life. At New Wave Dermatology and Laser, we offer comprehensive care for diagnosing and treating all types of rashes. With a compassionate, personalized approach and access to the latest skin technologies, Dr. Hedayati helps patients find relief and restore their skin’s health with clarity and confidence.

Understanding Rashes

A rash is a noticeable change in the skin’s color, texture, or appearance, often causing redness, itching, or irritation. While some rashes are short-lived and harmless, others may be signs of an underlying medical condition or allergic reaction. Rashes can result from contact with irritants, allergens, heat, infections, or chronic skin disorders such as eczema or psoriasis. Because there are many possible causes, identifying the exact trigger is key to providing effective relief and long-term management. 

What are the Options for Rash Treatment?

Treating a rash begins with an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Hedayati conducts a detailed medical history review and skin examination and may recommend additional tests if necessary. Treatment options are then customized based on the cause, type, and severity of the rash. These include topical, oral or even injectable medications as well as lifestyle modifications.

How to Choose a Provider 

When it comes to treating rashes, experience and a personalized approach truly make a difference. Choosing a provider who understands the complexities of skin disorders is crucial—rashes often present with overlapping symptoms, so accurate diagnosis requires a trained and discerning eye.

As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Hedayati blends advanced dermatologic expertise with a patient-centered approach. His goal is to not only treat the rash but to uncover the root cause, deliver relief, and restore your skin’s health and comfort through tailored, evidence-based treatment.
