What Causes Rash On Back, Stomach Area And Neck?

My 12 yr old daughter has had a rash on her back, stomach and neck for about 4 days. Does not itch or hurt. We have not changed lotion, soap or laundry detergent. Any thoughts? What symptoms should I look for that would indicate this should been seen by a doctor?

Hi...

1. By what you quote it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.

2. Red flag signs or danger signs include - extremely painful joints/ blood in urine or stools/ rash localised to only legs/ sever tummy pain.
