Rash Under Forearm, Increasing In Size, Blistery. Applying Cortisone, Aloe Vera. Cure For Symptoms?
Hi my daughter has a rash the size of a half dollar on her inside forearm..It was smaller, but now is half dollar. It is raised with bumps that look a lil blistery. Is this an allergic reaction to something? She has had it for 2 weeks now. We have tried cortisone cream and aloe vera but doesn't seem to work. Other than that we just keep it clean. Some days it looks like it is starting to go away, but then it is red again. Please help.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
The rash can be either allergic or fungal in nature.
Treatment varies from the usage of topical steroids to antifungal creams.
Do not apply any oils or other creams over the affected area.
Use oral antihistamines for itching.
Consult a local dermatologist for the exact diagnosis and treatment.
Hope it helps
