Suggest Treatment For Hives Near Thighs And Anus
My daughter has suddenly broken out in hives near her anus and on the back of her thighs. I ve had her go over the candies she s eaten tonight, but none have foods she s allergic to. I ve given her benedryl. She s breathing fine,but she is feeling itchy in a few more places. Should I be concerned, or just watch this for a while longer?

Hello.When there is an allergic reaction hives appear all over the body. If hives are only near her anus and on the back of her thighs, Fungal infection is a possible diagnosis.I recommend ketoconazole cream applied twice a day and combine it with an antihistamine by mouth,Loratadine for example.Please consult your doctor for a prescription.I wish you good health.
