Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Reddish Itchy Bumps On One Side Of An Infant S Body?
My 23 month old son has a rash that runs from his left arm pit to his thigh on the left side of his abdomen. Right now it is only small skin colored bumps but if left alone, they will get progressively redder. This happend once before, we were given a cream and it did resolve. We stopped treatment as directed and now about 1 week later it is coming back. They do not seem to itch initially, but gets progressively it gets redder and more unsightly. Also, its bigger now than in the first flare up. I find it hard to believe it is an allergic reaction since it is only on one side of his body.
The description of the rashes suggest an allerhic rash though affecting only one side is unlikely. Does the child tend to lie on the affected site? Maybe a contact with an irritant surface on one side iscausing the rash. in that case an anti allergic syruup and local hydrocortisone cream (1percent) may help
