How Can A Red And Itchy Skin Rash Be Treated?
My son has a rash on his face that came up today, it is red, itchy, and warm to the touch. He has had a steroid shot, and bendryl. Steroid cream was given and made the itchy worse. It is now spreading and the areas on his face are starting to look puffy/swell. Nothing has seemed to help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your complaints, it seems to be either viral rash or an allergic rash. Apply a moisturizing cream on the affected area and give him antihistaminics, like syrup Cyproheptadine.
Regards.
