What Causes Aggravation Of Rash And Cause Itching After Applying Cortisone?
My son has a rash all over his legs and arms. I took him to his pediatrician. She said cortisone cream and time was the only thing to help because it was an allergic reaction. I gave him a bath and covered him in cream and it seemed to aggravate the rash and now (the next day) it s spreading to his stomach and face. Could my Dr have been wrong? Or is the rash spreading normal for an allergic reaction? And why did the cortisone make the rash swell and itch worse?

hi there.
your kid concern may be atopic or seborrhoeic dermatitis.
stop using cortisone all over body ,though it can be suggestible for limited areas and limited period.
start using liquid paraffin lotion along with levocetirzine syrup.
take opinion from a dermatologist after physical examination
this will help your kid
