Hi, my grandson has broken out with a prickly rash on the bottom of his feet and it hurts to walk. He is seven years old. This happened to my own son, which this happened about 10 or 15 years ago when he was 8 or 9. My son is the uncle to my grandson that is broke out now with it. I can t remember the name of disease or problem but the Dr. then said it was rare. It had a very unusual name for the problem.
Hi, It seems that your grandson may be having pompholyx. It is a type of eczema characterized by vesicular eruptions on the sole and palm. There may be itching and pain. As it is on soles, it is called pedopompholyx. Exact cause is not known. There may be triggering factors like chemicals like perfume, local Chat Doctor. .etc It may be aggravated by solvent, water and detergent. Soak or compresses by vinegar in water solution may improve the condition. It may be done 4 times a day. Local application of steroid or antifungal cream may be done. Oral antihistamines and steroid in tampering dose may be given. I think your grandson may be alright, still you consult dermatologist. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
