What Causes Welts Throughout The Body In A Child?
My daughter took my grandson, age 7 to his pediatrician because he developed welts all over his body. This has been going on for two months non stop. His doctor said he s fine and to see an allergist. The welts are sometimes itchy and go away with Benadryl. Should we still be concerned since its been going on for so long?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest you use antihistamines daily such as Benadryl daily.
I also recommend using steroid lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
