Rashes are the inflammatory condition causing abnormal skin color and texture. Red rashes can be the reason for many dermatological conditions. For instance, they can be due to atopic eczema, allergies, or prolonged wearing the dirty wet diaper. In any condition, avoiding an irritating agent, and applying topical Hydrocortisone can work wonders.
