What Causes A Square Shaped Rash On The Waist?
my son has a square shaped rash on his side above his waist. It is not itchy or raised up from the skin. He has not slept on anything nor has he been hit or exposed to anything. I was wondering if you could shed some light on this for me. So far he only has the one thanks

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to contact dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines such as cetirizine 10mg daily.
I also suggest using steroid cream for a local application such as Betametasone cream.
Cold compresses can also help in relieving the rash.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
