Suggest Remedy For Rashes

My 12 year old daughter ate some raspberries for the first time about 3 days ago. Sunday she began to get the a rash below her lip to the right side(she had had a fever blister and we though that it was just spreading) but she began to get it on her nose , cheeks , forehead, and hands. We have been treating it with Benadryl and cortisone. All of her rashes have begun to get both small and larger white blisters. We were just wondering if what we are doing is the right thing to do and if you would can you please tell us how long these types of allergic reactions last?Thank you so much! :)

Hi.
As per your case history your son is having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
