How To Treat Rashes Like Bumps On Body?

My son was treated for a viral rash a little over a week ago, the rash covered his chest and back. Suring the rash 3 bumps larger then all the other bumps appreared, one under his arm in this arm pit, One on his butt cheeck and one on his groin. The rash has gone away but the larger bumps are still there. The are res and have not gone down in size. Any idea what these may be? He doesnt seem to have any other symptoms. Thanks

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From your description its looks like you are having episodes of urticaria or hives, a kind of allergic skin eruption.
I would advise you to consult a dermatologist for proper management.
Usually i advise a long term course of various antihistaminics with or without corticosteroids.
Also, in certain non-responding cases various other medications like dapsone, montelukast, cyclosporine, omalizumab can be tried.
Thank you
