Suggest Remedy For Rash

Every time my 4 year old grandson goes outside he breaks out with a rash all over his body and face. He keeps itching it. He went out today and there comes the rash. He was itching it again. By the time he got home he wanted to go to bed and it was only 4 in the afternoon. His mother noticed he was running a fever. It was almost 104. What is going on?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems that probably your grand son may be suffering from contact allergic dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would suggest....

- apply mild steroid cream on affected parts
- oral steroid in tapering dose
- antihistaminics like Tab.hydroxyzine HCL 10 mg daily
- avoid soap... use dettol liq for bath
- avoid contact with suspected allergens

Fever may be different issue. And may be tackled by Peadiatrician.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
