DERMATOLOGY & SKIN CARE

Skin Rash &
Dermatology Care.

Walk-in diagnosis and treatment for rashes, hives, eczema flare-ups, contact dermatitis, fungal infections, and skin irritations at TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL.

When to Visit for a
Skin Rash

Skin rashes, hives, and dermatological conditions can appear suddenly and range from mildly irritating to intensely uncomfortable. Waiting weeks for a dermatology appointment is not always an option — especially when a rash is spreading, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms.

TrufaMED provides same-day evaluation and treatment for a wide range of skin conditions. Our providers examine your rash, determine its cause, and prescribe targeted treatment including topical and oral medications to provide relief quickly.

Visit urgent care for a skin rash if it appeared suddenly and is spreading, is accompanied by fever or joint pain, involves swelling of the face or throat (go to ER for severe swelling), is painful or blistering, shows signs of infection like warmth, pus, or red streaking, or is not improving after several days of home treatment.

Common Rashes in
South Florida

South Florida's warm, humid climate creates unique skin challenges. Heat rash, fungal infections, and sun-related skin conditions are especially common in the Miami area. Exposure to tropical plants, insects, and salt water can trigger reactions that residents from other regions may not have experienced before.

Contact dermatitis from plants, chemicals, and jewelry is one of the most frequent reasons patients visit TrufaMED for skin concerns. Our providers identify the irritant or allergen responsible and prescribe targeted treatment to resolve the reaction and prevent recurrence.

For rashes that do not respond to initial treatment or that recur frequently, we provide referrals to board-certified dermatologists with complete documentation of your evaluation and treatment history. Our goal is to provide immediate relief while ensuring you receive the right long-term care.
