What Causes Itchy Rashes On Body?
We just noticed my 10 year old son has a rash on his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles, as well as under his chin and a few spots under his eyes. None on his chest or back, none in his mouth, no fever, not other symptoms except being itchy in those spots. The only other symptom is the past few mornings he has complained about the bottom of his feet hurting. Any ideas?

Hi.
As per your case history your son is having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
