Hi

Hi,


You seem to have developed an allergic skin disease which can either be due to the viral illness that he has or it can be due to intake of the drugs that he is taking.
It is very important to find the cause of the same, so assessment by a dermatologist is very important so as to find the exact cause.
You might need to apply a topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day for few days.
Take some oral antihistamines along.
Avoid giving any medicines for fever or pain killers. You can also avoid zanocin for the time being. Consult a dermatologist before continuing it.

Hope it helps,


Dr Geetika Paul.
