Relief for Irritated and Inflamed Skin in New Jersey
Rashes and allergic reactions can appear suddenly and cause significant discomfort, ranging from mild irritation to severe itching, redness, or swelling. These conditions may be triggered by allergens, environmental exposures, or even stress, and they often require expert evaluation to properly diagnose and treat. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our board-certified dermatologists provide personalized care to identify the source of your rash or reaction and recommend effective treatments to restore comfort and protect your skin’s health.
Contact dermatitis is a common skin reaction that occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with an irritant or allergen. Symptoms may include redness, itching, dryness, and blistering, which can interfere with daily activities and quality of life. Triggers may range from household cleaning products to cosmetics, fragrances, or even certain metals like nickel. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our dermatologists perform a thorough evaluation to help identify what’s causing your reaction. We may recommend patch testing to pinpoint specific allergens, along with prescription creams, oral medications, and guidance on avoiding future exposure. With proper care, we aim to not only calm the flare-up but also prevent future recurrences.
Poison ivy, oak, and sumac are plants that produce an oil called urushiol, which can trigger an itchy, blistering rash upon skin contact. For some, the reaction may be mild, but others can experience severe inflammation that spreads quickly if untreated. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we provide expert treatment for poison ivy reactions, offering prescription-strength topical or oral medications to reduce itching, inflammation, and discomfort. Our dermatologists also educate patients on how to recognize and avoid exposure to these plants in the future. For persistent or severe cases, we ensure close follow-up care to promote faster healing and prevent infection from excessive scratching.
Hives, or urticaria, are raised, red, and often intensely itchy welts that can appear anywhere on the body. They may develop suddenly in response to food allergies, medications, insect stings, or even stress and illness. While most hives resolve within a few hours or days, chronic hives can last for weeks or months, requiring specialized care. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our dermatologists assess both the underlying causes and the severity of your condition. Treatment may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or advanced therapies for chronic cases. We also provide education on identifying and avoiding triggers to minimize flare-ups. Our goal is to relieve your discomfort quickly and restore your skin’s health while offering long-term management strategies for recurring hives.
