When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room immediately if your skin rash is accompanied by difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue (angioedema), or dizziness. These symptoms could indicate a severe allergic reaction requiring immediate treatment.

Other Urgent Situations

Seek immediate medical care if your rash rapidly worsens, spreads extensively, or develops blisters filled with pus. Also, contact your doctor if you experience a high fever (over 101°F or 38.3°C) along with the rash. These could be signs of a serious infection.

If you experience significant pain, especially with accompanying symptoms like joint pain or muscle aches, contact your doctor without delay. This could indicate a more serious underlying condition.
