Hi my son is ten and has developed an itchy bumps on his inner thighs and are spreading to arms and chest ,, Trying kalamine lotion but says it helps for a bit then they get itchy shortly after putting it on. I thought it was allergies to something out side Should I wait a few days then if not better take him to a doctor
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. From your history I get impression your son is having what we call \"urticaria\". They can be due to allergy or infection. I would suggest your son to take antihistamines like levocetirizine or cetirizine for 3-5 days. If they do not improve, or they worsen, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician. If your son has excessive sweating, I would suggest him to avoid activities which produce sweating for a few days. I would also suggest avoiding woolen clothes and tight clothing (if he is wearing) and it will be best if he can wear loose, cotton clothes. I hope this will help your son. Wish your son quick recovery and best of the health. Regards.
