What Causes Intermittent Sore And Itchy Rashes On A Child S Body?

My son is 4yrs old. He has had a skin condition that comes and goes. It develops small swellings that are itchy. They itch so much that it sometimes wakes him up from sleep. Most doctors tell me its allergy but they dont tell me what he is allergic to. Please advise.

Hello dear. Skin conditions generally take lot of time to heal. Allergy can arise due to several reasons.
1. Certain foods like egg, fish etc.
2. Pollen grains in air
3. Plants like parthenium around
4. Animal hairs like cats, dogs
5. Certain cloth like terylene
6. Certain drugs
Allegy can arise due to anything. It is up to us to identify what we are allergic to. A doctor cannot determine
Remedies- 1. Identify the allergen and stay away from it
