What Causes A Recurrent Skin Rash In A Child?
My baby boy is 11 months old. For the last 3 weeks, he has been developing a rash (like mosquito bite as it starts with tiny dot and while going it leaves a black pigment mark, which usually feds away in one day). The rash occurs every 2 or 3 days. What can be the cause?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possibly chemical induced rash from clothes. Look for any relation with specific food, environment or clothes.
2. Location of rash is important to correlate. Food could be generalized, where as others will be localized.
3. Apply calamine lotion locally and if excessive redness then antihistamine syrup can be given.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
