Hi Denise,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic,
It seems your daughter is having skin allergic reaction.
For rash you can apply calamine lotion externally over skin to decrease the itching and for the soothing effect.
If the itching continues you can give oral antihistamine like cetirizine or hydroxyzine in prescrbed dosage after consulting your Pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query.

hi
thanks for writing to health care magic
I feel that your daughter is having skin allergy
not to worry...........but few doses of antihistaminic like cetrizine or chlorpheniramine maleate should ameliorate the condition
if you could find out a allergen causing the problem you should try and avoid that
if there is breathing problem then you should immediately take her to the emergency
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
take care
