Rashes are a common skin issue, but they can be more than just a cosmetic concern. Whether caused by allergies, infections, or chronic conditions, rashes can significantly affect your quality of life. At Patients Medical in New York City, we use an integrative approach to treat rashes. We go beyond symptom management to uncover the underlying causes—whether they are related to food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, gut health, or stress. Our holistic approach helps address rashes at their root, offering you lasting relief and healthier skin.
A rash is any change to the skin that causes irritation or inflammation, often characterized by redness, bumps, blisters, dryness, or scaling. Rashes can range from mild to severe and may occur anywhere on the body. They are a symptom of an underlying condition, rather than a condition in themselves.
Rashes can be accompanied by various symptoms, including:
Functional medicine seeks to uncover the root causes of your rash. While rashes can often be treated with topical creams, our approach delves deeper into what may be causing them in the first place.
At Patients Medical, we use advanced testing to identify the root causes of your rash and other skin issues. Some of the tests we offer include:

Acupuncture can help alleviate inflammation and balance energy, which can be particularly effective in managing chronic rashes caused by stress or autoimmune conditions.
Probiotics help balance the gut microbiome, which is crucial for skin health. A healthy gut can lead to healthier skin, especially if your rash is linked to gut imbalances.
Many patients experience significant improvement or complete resolution of their rashes with an integrative treatment plan that addresses underlying causes. However, some conditions may require ongoing management.
