hello
thanks for writing
some details are missing in your query
can you please tell me if your kid is having any itching
what is the color of the rash.........are they red spots or is it raised above the skin
were any investigations done
from the treatment i presume that the treating doctor might have made diagnosis of allergic dermatits
if there is no improvement please get the child examined by a pediatrician for further action
