We took our 22 month daughter to the fruit farm and she ate her bodyweight in raspberries and strawberries. When she woke she had an angry raised red rash up her legs and arms which disappeared when pressed. By the time we spoke to a doctor it had completely disappeared. she was fine in herself, quite happy with no temperature. When she awoke she had the rash back again, what could it be
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of skin rashes which seems to be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis. It could be due to increased skin sensitivity of getting infected. Need not worry. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergic medications such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching the bumps to prevent infection. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well soon. Best Wishes,
