Skin rashes can appear suddenly and for many reasons—ranging from allergic reactions and infections to irritants or underlying health conditions. If you're dealing with a rash that's painful, spreading, or simply not going away, visiting an urgent care clinic is a practical next step.

At San Antonio Regional Hospital’s urgent care clinics, medical providers can evaluate your rash through a physical exam and questions about recent exposures or symptoms. Common types of rashes seen include contact dermatitis, eczema, hives, heat rash, and viral or bacterial skin infections. Depending on the cause, treatment might involve topical creams, oral medications, or further testing to rule out more serious conditions

Urgent care clinics offer same-day care without the need for a specialist referral, making them a good option when you need quick answers and relief. If a rash is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, swelling, or difficulty breathing, prompt care is even more important.

While many rashes are minor, some may signal something more complex. A visit to one of our four urgent care clinics ensures you get the right diagnosis and treatment plan, helping you feel more comfortable and avoid complications.
