Treatment for an allergy rash is guided by a dermatologist, who can assess your condition and recommend the best approach, including prescription medications if needed.

Small lumps under the skin can be harmless, but they may also indicate an underlying condition. If a lump changes in size, becomes painful, or persists, it's best to have it checked by a dermatologist.

In some cases, a dermatologist may remove a mole during the first visit if it appears suspicious or if you request removal for cosmetic reasons. However, they may also recommend monitoring or a follow-up appointment for further assessment.
