What Could Itchy Upper Thigh In Infants Suggest?
Hi, my 14mo. Daughter has been scratching her upper thighs as she falls asleep. I noticed the rashes 3 days ago and noticed her scratching as we laid together lastnight to fall asleep (he usually sleeps in her crib) is it stress? Depression, anxiety, self harm, itchyness....? I just stopes breastfeeding a week and 4days ago... I'm worried- any professional advice that you can offer would be appreciated- and also only taken as advice. I have a doctors appointment for Friday. I'm just worried and would like an answer or a theory... Thank you

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may be atopic dermatitis and it can be given try with any antihistamine and the best would be Levocetirizine, a child is just 14 month old so the functional factors are just out of the question hope this information helps.
