What Causes Itchy And Bumpy Rashes On The Sides, Armpits, Back And Groin Area Of A Child?

Question: My son got a an itchy and bumpy rash on his sides, armpits, back, and groin area today. Please advise.
Brief Answer:
Possibly due to allergic cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have checked the attached images. It is possibly due to an allergic reaction. Taking some antiallergic like cetirizine or benadryl (or possibly better ones like fexofenadine or loratidine which are prescription medicines) should help. You could also apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.
It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient.
Let me know if I could help further.
