Child With Blisters On The Back And Shoulders. No Fever. What Is It?
Hi, my son has what look like gnat bits on his torso - back, shoulders, stomache. First I thought they were chickenpox , however, after putting on camamile lotion they seemed to disappear. but have flared up again larger and more aggressive. Any ideas what this could be - he has no temperature and does not feel unwell. Thanks Allison

Hi Allison,
Thank you for your query.
The lesions described by you seem to be urticaria or hives. I suggest you give your son some histamine preparation like Phenargan. It will be better if you consult your doctor who shall try to identify the cause of this allergic reaction.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.
Regards,
RKK
