What Causes Rash Spots With Bumps On Upper Arm, Face And Thighs?

Yes my daughter has a series of rash like spots on her upper arms, face, and thighs. Its like a blush red color and has a series of little raised bumps within the spots. She says it feels warm and is itchy. I have given her Benadryl, and Caladryl lotion. It rashes seem to come and go over a couple of hours. Really ramping up of course later in the day and seems not so bad (maybe one little spot) in the morning. She does have a mild headache and is tired. She is 15 yrs old, no new medicines, foods or been anywhere different. Any help would be appreciated. Is this something that should be taken to the ER??

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having papular urticaria.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
