Suggest Medication For Rashes

We as a family love to go to natural hot springs here in Idaho but my 10 year old son gets a horrible rash after to the point that he doesn't want to go anymore and deal with it. He also has reactions to chlorinated pools but not those treated with a salt water solution. Is there anything we can do for him so he could still enjoy going with us as a family?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your have symptoms of rashes. I would suggest you to

- Start taking anti allergics medications such as Allegra.

- You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching.

- Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin.

- Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes.

- You should maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching.

If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
