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 Is The Treatment For Painful Rash On Child's Stomach, Under Arms And Legs?
Hello my 2 year old son developed a rash on his belly, under his arms and, on his legs. He cries that it hurts if I pick him up or touch it. He had a stomach bug last wendnesday night followed by a low grade fever for 2 days. He now has a bit of congestion but no fever. I thought that maybe it was just dry skin because it's dry in our house. But, when I put vasoline or lotion on it he cries! Any suggestions?
I am so sorry to hear about this rash your child has. It would be best to get this child examined. children rarely say what the exact problem is. This makes examination and investigation very important when dealing with kids. also, because of their very fragile nature, we won't want to make guesses especially when the clinical presentation isn't typical. Please,, see his pediatrician for appropriate examination and management.
I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
