What Is The Treatment For Skin Rash?
My 9 year old son has a rash that started in his arm pits. I thought it was an allergic reaction to antiperspirant so I had him discontinue use. He also developed the same type of rash in his crotch. He was also using an after shower deodorant powder. I had him discontinue use of that as well. The rash appears o be spreading. it consists of red itchy bumps that have a head, like a pimple, but very small. I gave Benadryl last night before bed, seemed to help.

Hi...by what you quote this seems like an allergic rash due to eczema. The other possibility is that it could be a fungal infection. Over the counter antiallergics might help initially, but it requires professional help and follow up.
Usually skin conditions are best treated after directly seeing them. I suggest you upload an image in this website or post a direct query to me.
