Is Antihistamine For Red Bumps And Burning Sensation On Thighs Sufficient?
Hi my 10 year old son got a raised red bump on his thigh with burning sensation which then turned dark in colour, the following day he got a few more (same thing). He now has about 10 of these marks all on his right thigh. I have given him antihistamine from the first day.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Antihistamines will provide symptomatic relief and itching will be subsided. It would be better if you attach a picture in the followup query. You can apply soft steroids like Mometasone for faster recovery. If the symptoms persist for long, better you have to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
