Question : Hi,
My baby has got rashes all over the body and mi paediatric doc says it's called allergic urticaria...and have antihistamines Allegra and asked me to find the source.......but it's not going off and I m almost tried all ways to find out like changed the environment....( I m using same soap and detergent for him from birth to 9 months now) ..it's been like this for past one month ....is any other option to find out the cause or stop the rashes...
Food also I m giving the same one not introduced anything new....

Is it like he is exposing to the alergian daily or the alergian inside his body ( exposed long back) is causing rashes again and again

Do I need to consult any other doctors or what steps I need to take ...
