Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On The Hands , Knees And Arms Of A Child

My otherwise healthy 11 year old daughter started experiencing a red molted looking rash on arms and legs more near wrists, hands, and knees that spreads from these regions on arms and lets when she gets hot about a week ago. No itch or discomfort. (It has nothing to do with cold exposure). When she wakes in am, little to no rash present, but by noon it has reappeared.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of red rashes on the hands , knees and arms which seems to be due to eczema due to use of cosmetics products , pets , pollens , certain viruses and bacteria , weather, excessive exposure to sunlight. In your case the probable reasons is seasonal allergy and due to hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep yourself away from open environment. You should use air condition and continue taking anti histamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses to affected area and apply moisturizer . If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor will take history and try to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may order allergy test . Doctor may give adrenaline short or may hospitalize .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
