Have you looked over yourself lately? As in taking a nice shower and doing your 4-step (or however many steps you have) skincare routine and once you’re done, you take a look at your body and see what’s going on. What about giving yourself a once-over after a long day of work? However you decide to check on yourself, can you remember the last time you did so? Can you remember if you found anything out of the ordinary? Maybe a bruise or a scratch? Those are pretty common mishaps that can appear on the skin. Other common mishaps that can appear on the skin are rashes. You may be dealing with this random rash and have no idea where it came from. Why is that?

If you start to experience itchiness, the first thing you’re going to do is scratch it because that’s your mind telling you how to ease the itch. This is how you begin to notice the rash.
Another way you might notice these new rashes is because they cause texture on your skin. You could be deep in thought, working or trying to figure out where a puzzle piece should go and start to rub on your skin. Once you notice this raised texture that feels different from the rest of your body, you’re going to immediately look down and notice that it is indeed a rash that has formed.
