Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sores On Legs And Arms In A Child
My daughter age 10 has developed itchy sores all over her legs and some sores are appearing on her arms and body. She is so uncomfortable and looking online I think it is Prurigo. We are on holiday therefore unable to visit doctor. How can I relieve her uncomfortable symptoms until we are home next week? She was bitten by mosquitoes while camping about 4 weeks ago.

Hi...by what you quote it seems like an insect bite allergy to me. The best way is to use over the counter antihistamines or Cetrizine as suggested on the pack for 5 days. Meanwhile you can keep the skin moist with moisturizing lotions too.
