Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As he is already on steroid and anti histamine medications, I suggest additional precautions as follows for better recovery.
- Allow him plenty of liquids.
- Balanced nutritious diet to combat underlying allergy.
- Bath in tub filled with lukewarm water added epsom salt and lavender oil daily.
- Keep the affected areas clean, allow to wear loose, clean, cotton clothes.
- Avoid sun exposure.
-Be in regular follow up with your skin specialist.
