They can range in size and severity, and can be caused by a variety of factors including allergies, infections, illnesses and environmental conditions. Rashes can appear anywhere on the body, and can be itchy, red and/or raised, with accompanying swelling and/or fluid retention. Rashes can signal a range of medical issues and should be seen by a doctor to assess underlying causes.
