Inflammation of the skin is referred to as a body rash. It is also sometimes called a skin rash and causes the texture and colour of skin to change. These rashes could either affect the whole body or even on certain areas such as the neck, face or back.
A body rash could be due to an allergy or it could also be a disease. Some body rashes could be infectious while some may not be so. Red in colour and appearing in either non itchy or itchy bumps, the body rash also causes a burning or stinging feeling in the affected areas.
