Passed 6 urgent care facilities on my way here. And it was well worth it. Dr Luke!!! His persona is warm and welcoming. He’s caring and compassionate. He quickly diagnosed my son’s issue and proceeded to show concern for his overall wellbeing, educational and career goals. Great life advice given. We need more like you, Dr Luke, so please don’t give any less of yourself. In addition, his team called to follow up on my son’s recovery.
** update** two thumbs up for Malik. Yesterday he thoroughly treated my son with the utmost care, and dotted all i’s and crossed all it’s. Wonderful team. Never change.
What We See and Treat
Children can develop rashes for many reasons. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we commonly evaluate:
- Viral rashes (such as those from hand, foot & mouth disease or roseola)
- Contact dermatitis (from soaps, lotions, plants, etc.)
- Diaper rash
- Heat rash
- Eczema flare-ups
- Hives and allergic reactions
- Insect bite reactions
- Mild cases of impetigo
- Rash with fever (to rule out more serious infections)
If your child’s rash appears suddenly, spreads quickly, is itchy or painful, or is accompanied by a fever, it’s always best to seek prompt evaluation.
Our Approach to Pediatric Rash Care
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess the location, appearance, texture, and timing of the rash, as well as any associated symptoms like fever, itching, swelling, or discomfort.
- Diagnostic Clarity: In many cases, a diagnosis can be made by physical exam. We’ll ask about recent exposures, allergies, travel, and any illnesses going around daycare or school.
- Safe & Effective Treatment: Depending on the cause, treatment may include antihistamines, topical creams, prescription ointments, or oral medications. We’ll also provide home care tips to soothe your child’s skin and prevent recurrence.
