What Causes White Spots With Red Border On Ankles, Hands And Legs?

My 17 month old has white spotswith a red outer that appear and dissapear in different areas on her ankles hands arms legs back and tummy sometimss face.They are faint until she has a bath then flair up. We use soap free wash as she used to have ecsema on her face. They seem itchy but she is happy. This happemed once before a while ago but this time has happened for four days. I have given her non drowsy anti histamine each time. It goes away then comes back over night.

Hi...By what you quote it should be an INSECT BITE ALLERGY or urticaria or a simple skin allergy. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral anti-allergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician.
