Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes All Over The Body Of A Kid

Hello!
My 11 months son has red rash on complete body. I checked with many doctors and pediatritians but couldn't get solution. All have asked to apply moisturised creams on his body but i didn't get good response rather it is increasing day by day. My son has this problem since he born and now it is itching and he makes scratches. Pls suggest what to do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain red rashes over the body of an infant present since birth can be due to causes like Contact Dermatitis caused due to allergic reaction to any soap or detergent that you are using while can be due to causes like any food while can also be due to Eczema..
It can also be due to Neonatal acne..
I would suggest you to consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests, microscopy of scrapings from the lesions can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can give benadryl to relieve itching and do cool compresses over the rashes..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
