Hi my son is ten and has developed an itchy bumps on his inner thighs and are spreading to arms and chest ,, Trying kalamine lotion but says it helps for a bit then they get itchy shortly after putting it on. I thought it was allergies to something out side Should I wait a few days then if not better take him to a doctor
From your history I get impression your son is having what we call "urticaria". They can be due to allergy or infection.
I would suggest your son to take antihistamines like levocetirizine or cetirizine for 3-5 days. If they do not improve or they worsen, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician.
If your son has excessive sweating, I would suggest him to avoid activities which produce sweating for a few days. I would also suggest to avoid woolen clothes and tight clothing (if he is wearing) and it will be best if he can wear loose, cotton clothes.
I hope this will help your son.
Wish your son quick recovery and best of the health.
Regards.
