	Rash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rash may be localised to one part of the body, or affect all the skin.
		Rashes may cause the skin to change color, itch, become warm, bumpy, dry, cracked or blistered, swell and may be painful.
		Not only the appearance and sensation of the rash but also the distribution (which parts of the body are affected and where it arose and spread to) and evolution of the rash may be important as certain patterns of rashes and their associated signs and symptoms are diagnostic of certain diseases.

	Rash
		A rash is a temporary eruption or discoloration of the skin that is often inflamed or swollen.
		In general, rashes may be described as macular (showing flat, red spots), papular (showing small, raised, solid bumps), macular and papular (a combination of macules and papules), papulosquamous (a combination of papules and scaly areas), and vesicular (showing small, raised, fluid-filled blisters).
		Rashes due to an antibiotic allergy may last three to 14 days, whereas diaper rash almost always clears up within one week (if diapers are changed frequently).
