Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Having Welt Like Rash On Buttocks, Legs, Knees, Calves. What Could It Be?
My 3 year old son developed a rash that s raised, almost blister looking but i don t see or feel any fluid in them. Kind of a welt like rash. It s on hit butt cheeks, back of thighs most thickly. But also on the front of his legs, knees and moving to the calves. Tried a benadryl cream for kids and am thinking of doing an oatmeal bath next. I can t find any pictures online that really match this 100%. Thinking about a dr visit but also thinking i should try the bath, change his bed clothes and see what tomorrow brings. Any advice would be helpful
If he is behaving & feeding well and is without fever , joint pain or tummy ache you can opt to observe for a day or two. If the rash is itchy - piriton or zeet or atarax syp will help in appropriate doses. I am wondering could it be HSP (henoch scholein purpura) .It would be interesting to know the clinical course in next 3-4 days.
