AB Although  the  title  of  this  chapter  is  Dermatologic  Emergencies,  patients  with  rashes  who  make  their  way  to  the  emergency  department  although  certainly  dermatologic,  almost  never  present  as  emergencies.  Few  rashes  are  emergent;  however,  emergency  physicians  will  never  be  without  a  steady  stream  of  rashes  in  their  examination  rooms  and  should  have  a  working  knowledge  of  the  most  common  rashes.  It  is  important  to  identify  if  the  rash  is  emergent,  indicative  of  an  emergent  process,  or  requiring  specific  treatment.
