My 8 yr old grandson was in the woods a couple hours ago. Now, all of a sudden his skin on his arms and legs has an unraised rash look to it and it itches. What can we put on it topically and give my orally to help before it gets full blown worse?

Hello,

You can try topical calamine lotion along with antihistamines like Levocetirizine and Fexofenadine drugs. If the rash is not clearing, then have a dermatologist opinion for a physical examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
