Treating Rashes
Q:

Diaper rash creams most commonly include zinc oxide paste in different concentrations. They create a skin barrier, reducing some rashes, and are usually safe for adults to use unless they have any allergies to the ingredients in the cream.
What Causes Rashes
Q:
can anemia cause a rash?
A:
Anemia can cause a specific rash called petechiae, which are small red dots that may appear with patients who are suffering from anemia. If you suspect you have a rash due to anemia, you should see a licensed professional in order to conduct lab work and identify the cause.
Rash Prevention
Q:
what is a rash guard?

A rash guard is a piece of clothing that has capabilities to block the UV light from the sun, thus protecting the skin from further UV damage. It is usually worn during sports activities or when going to the beach.
