BODY RASH
 The term  "BODY RASH" is not specific.  It means  any skin eruption or lesion. This may appear in any part of the body-the neck, face, hands, leg, trunk, buttocks, genital areas or the scalp. A body rash may or may not be contagious. The area of skin affected by a rash may be dry, wrinkled, blistered, red, itchy or rough.
A lot of people in the population suffer from body rashes. Any body rash should be properly evaluated by a medical doctor or a dermatologist because body rashes can be caused by a variety of  medical conditions.
