Suggest Treatment For Itchy Skin Rashes In A Child
good morning doc, my name is carmencita. I am from the philippines, i have a grand daughter, aged 11 months old who is currently having skin rashes/irritations. without knowing us, her little cousin gave her small amount of cooked shrimp....i just don;t know if this is the cause of the skin rashes
Understanding your concern. As per your query your grand daughter have symptoms of itchy skin rashes which seems to be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergics medications such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes. You should maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching the bumps to prevent infection. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
