Hot summer weather can lead to itchy skin rashes, the American Academy of Pediatrics says.

Clogged sweat glands, bug bites and exposure to certain plants, chlorine and fungi are just a few of the common triggers for rashes.

The AAP offers this list of rashes to watch for during summer:

• Heat rash.
• Poison ivy and other plant rashes.
• Eczema.
• Insect bites.
• Impetigo.
• Swimmer’s itch.
• Sandworms.
• Hot tub rash.
• Molluscum virus.
• Juvenile plantar dermatosis.
