Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Fensitil and other related antihistamines are not recommended for children less than six months of age. You can apply steroid ointment for symptomatic relief. If the problem persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.



Hope I have answered your query.
