Can Blotchy Red Rashes With Itching On Hand And Feet Be Treated?

my three year old has a blotchy red rash that began with hives. It is itchy but not elevated. The rash is a little on his belly, mostly on hand and feet. The blotches almost seem to be blending into each other so there is less but they are larger.

Hello.

Thank you or asking at HCM.

I went through your son's history and would like to make suggestions as follows:

1. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him levocetirizine or cetirizine or hydroxyzine for rash and itching.

2. I would also suggest application of a lotion like calamine over the itchy areas and rash.

3. Please make sure that he does not scratch the itchy areas. Scratching would aggravate itching and will delay recovery. Please trim his nails and make him wear socks over hands to avoid scratching.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Wish your son the best of the health and a quick recovery.

Thank you & Regards.
