Suggest Treatment For Constant Itchy Rashes On Body

My son has had a rash from head to toe for the last six months and was recently diagnosed with Gianotti crosti. Nothing is working and his skin looks horrible and he is constantly itching. Is it normal for this to last this long and be all over EVERYWHERE? Are there any homeopathic remedies for this?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant itchy rashes on body which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, side effects of medications, sunlight , eczema and psoriasis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene and take zyrtec one a day. You should apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test, test for allergy and physical examination and may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, anti inflammatory medications and immunosuppressants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
