How can I tell the difference between rashes and allergies (photo)?

Doctor's Answer

Hi, it can be difficult to differentiate between contact dermatitis and endogenous eczema (body rashes) without a proper clinical history.

It is best to consult your doctor and take a history of the contact exposure of the skin at home, work and hobbies. Common contact dermatitis include nickle, rubber and dyes.

The important point is the the history of exposure.
