Often, the cause of a rash can be determined from its visible characteristics and other symptoms. Seborrheic dermatitis is a rash that appears in patches of redness and scaling around the eyebrows, eyelids, mouth, nose, the trunk, and behind the ears. A rash may be caused by contact with a substance outside the body, such as poison ivy. Facial inflammatory dermatoses can be difficult to diagnose in their early stages; skin biopsy may help but often shows indeterminate features. Treatment depends on the form of the rash and on the source of the rash. Keep your skin well-moisturized throughout the day but avoid moisturizers that clog the pores or are highly perfumed. Best time to apply a moisturizer: immediately after patting dry. Apply cool or lukewarm compresses to itchy or sore areas.
