What Causes Itching In Eyes With Rash On Cheeks And Eyes?

My 3 and half yr son has allergy problems. Recently we took him to a pediatrician for what we thought was an allergic conjunctivitis . Since he was rubbing his eyes constantly and didn t let her see his eyes properly, we were just advised Benadryl for better night sleeps, as that was an issue. But recently I am noticing freckle like rash over his eyes and cheeks along with the above problems. What can it be?

Hi,

Mostly these are viral in origin, swab from area for PCR test will give diagnosis, more fluids, strengthen his immunity. Blood test CBC, platelets are also helpful. Check for fever also, if yes then take meds. Let me know the weight.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

The itching in the eyes, combined with a rash on the cheeks and eyes, could be a symptom of an allergy or an inflammatory skin condition like atopic dermatitis. An allergy to something in the environment, such as pollen, dust, or pet dander, could be the cause. A visit to a pediatrician would be recommended to diagnose the underlying cause and to provide appropriate treatment, which may include antihistamines, topical corticosteroids, or other medications.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
