Approach Patient with Skin Rash in Primary Care Settings: Review

Abstract

Skin rashes are prevalent in basic care, and suboptimal results in chronic illnesses frequently result from inadequate adherence to treatment. While shared decision-making and self-management support may be beneficial, there is limited comprehension of patient engagement and the assistance offered by general practitioners. This review aims to evaluate the approach to patients with skin rashes in primary care settings. Effective collaboration between primary care clinicians and dermatologists is essential for maintaining high quality and cost efficiency in patient care. The training of general practitioners should align with the prevalence of dermatological issues and aim to enhance patient engagement in decision-making and facilitate self-management.
