How Can Chlorine Rashes Be Treated?

My 6 yr old grandson came home from a waterpark and now has developed a red raised rash that itches under his arms and on each side of chest and trunk but not on face, arms legs buttocks or groin. No fever but said it itches. I ve given him benadryl and put on anti itch cream. Am I doing the right treatment?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the allergic condition then it can best treated with Levocetirizine and it will give you best result than Diphenhydramine but condition may be self limiting and one can weight for that hope this information helps.
