Hi,
Your son may be having contact allergic dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest..
- oral steroids in tapering dose
- antihistaminics
- apply mild steroid cream
- avoid soap bath and avoid contact with suspected allergens
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
