Posted on Mon, 14 Sep 2015

Question: My 16 yr old daughter has itchy little bumps on the inside of her wrist. What is it? What can I do to cure it?

Brief Answer:
Most probably allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Features are suggestive of allergic response. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- cetirizine suspension 1 TSF at night for 3 days
- wash/change bedding thoroughly.
- avoid scratching the area else it might leave scar.

Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days BUT if conditions remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Thank you for the followup query.

Cetirizine suspension is antihistamine syrup. It responds quickly to allergic reaction and improves the condition. It is OTC and hopefully you will not find difficulty in getting it.
