My Son Is Six Years Old And Has Developed A

Posted on Mon, 19 Nov 2018

Question: My son is six years old and has developed a severe skin allergy in the last few days. It itches quite a bit. It started after we came back from vacation after a train journey. Also, I've had skin problems recently and my doctor called it eczema. Can you please recommend some medication that will relieve him of the itching sensation?

Brief Answer:
Papular urticaria, topical steroid antibiotic combination, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It is looking like papular urticaria which is an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid and antibiotic combination cream like mometasone and fusidic acid cream ( momate F cream) on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like syrup levocetrizine 5 ml twice daily for 10 days.
This will help in relieving his itching.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
