Rashes And Bumps On Nose. Taking Aquaphor Ointment. What Allergy Is It?

My son (8 years) has indoor/outdoor allergies and allergic to nuts/cats. Since we found a new home for our cat (6 months ago) we thought my son should stop taking his Allegra and take his Flonase every other day. Since he s been fine in other places but gets home and is sneezing . He also developed a couple rash-like bumps around the crevices of his nose . He s not allergic to dustmites. So I wonder what it is. It s itchy sometimes and sometimes gets better when aquaphor ointment is applied. Is it something in the house, irritation from blowing his nose, or somehow related to being goalie for hockey ( sweating and not showering right away).

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for sending a question to H.C.M.Forum.
Your son aged 8 years has allergy to nuts and cat. you are lucky that you find the allergen the causative factor.
The sneezing comes when ever he comes in contact with the allergen. As he is allergic to limited number of things, there is possibility of complete cure from the allergy by using a combination of montelecast and levocitrizine under the supervision of a pediatric specialist.
Wishing him a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
