Hello,
As per your case history, your son is probably suffering from a viral rash.
My treatment advice is:
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, and oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
