Sometimes it happens that we notice rashes on the skin that were not there before. Spots, pustules, papules — all these are signals from our body about certain problems. There can be many reasons for changes in the condition of the skin, and only a professional doctor can find out what caused the rash and, if necessary, prescribe treatment.
Then the question arises: which specialist to contact? For example, an allergy with rashes and itching is not always easy to distinguish from a skin disease. Who should I turn to in this case, a dermatologist or an allergist?
Hypersensitivity reactions always occur in response to the introduction of any substance. It can be a food product, plant pollen, animal hair, medicine. In most cases, the cause-and-effect relationship is obvious, and the patient is sent for a consultation with an allergist. Nevertheless, especially in children, it is easy to make a mistake when trying to determine the nature of the rash yourself.
Therefore, which doctor is necessary — your pediatrician will tell you. He will help establish the general cause of rashes, determine whether they are related to infectious diseases and, if necessary, refer to the appropriate specialist. Pediatricians are always nearby and ready to help your children every day at Mamany Dom.
