Brief Answer: Allergic Dermatitis Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to WWW.WWWW.WW As you are having allergic dermatitis you can take the medicines previously prescribed by your doctor. The cream will keep the area dry and tablet will control itching. As you are very young you require permanent treatment for this condition for this you have to undergo a test called skin prick test. This test will help you to know to which allergen your are allergic. This test includes all the allergens like food, dust, mites and drugs. Once the allergen is identified you can sensitize your body with the same allergen with small doses and make you immune to the allergen either by sublingual immunotherapy or subcutaneous immunotherapy. Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to ask any query regarding this. Thank you.
