Is Red Vinegar A Good Remedy To Treat Severe Itching Caused By Rashes In A Child?

My son has a severe rash breakout that itches really bad. It has completely covered his whole body except for his head and face. He is literally going insane. What can I do for him. We have tried allergie pills, and some kind of topical cream but this has not worked. We have tried red vinegar as well and nothing.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing here.
Your sons age has not been mentioned. The rashes in children may be due to various causes- atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, PLE etc.
Did he have any fever before the rashes appeared? Vinegar is not the remedy for rashes.
You need to see a dermatologist who will help you with diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile you can apply calamine lotion. Avoid soaps and hot water.
Take care.Hope this helps you.
