Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query youR grand children have fluid filled bumps and hives on skin which occurs when body give response to some external stimuli or some kind of allergen. It could be due to increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. Give cold compresses to reduce itchiness . I would suggest you to to find out the trigger factor which is a complicated thing , Prevention of hives is he best thing one can do . So try to avoid the trigger factor. Give cold compresses several times a day. Consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe steroid therapy with prednisone. Till then take antihistamine drug and take anti-allergic medications such as Zyrtec(Cetirizine) and Benadryl.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Dr. Harry Maheshwari
