Hello my son as a serve rash around his belly and under his arm pits. I took him to the doctor earlier this week and he put him a antibiotic (bacterium). He has taken them since Tuesday. However the rash has flared up again and is making him itch like crazy.
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. I would suggest him antihistamine like cetirizine or HY Chat Doctor. 2. Furthermore, I would also suggest you regular application of a topical corticosteroid cream and calamine lotion. However, it is best to see your doctor before starting topical corticosteroids and get his skin condition examined. As there is a small possibility of flare with topical corticosteroids also.3. Please make sure he is wearing loose-fitting, preferably cotton clothes, which are very good for most skin conditions. Please avoid irritating/woolen and tight-fitting clothes.4. Please complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your son the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
