Suggest Remedy For Rashes
My 9 year old daughter has a constant rash behind her upper legs and under her lower forearms (near elbow). Can this be a result of sitting at her school desk & chair? Only those areas that come in contact with her desk & chair have been affected. Please advise.

Hi,
With this much history,I feel that most probably the rash on both extremities may be allergic contact dermatitis. It may be called atopic dermatitis. Constitution of your daughter might be atopic. You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis.
I would recommend as follow..
- antihistaminics
- steroids in tappering dose
- application of mild steroid cream or tacrolimus oint
- avoidance of contact of suspected allergens
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
