Suggest Remedy For Rashes On Hands And Legs

My daughter had severe case of poison ivy on the back of her legs and a few small places on her arms. We were having success in treating it and it healed up completely before she took a tumble and sprained her wrist. The following day, she woke up with a rash on her hands and legs that has progressive gotten worse. The rash is raised, red, almost solid, warm to the touch and itches. Looks almost like a sunburn, but is a rash. The rash is only from her shirt sleeve down to her hands, and from her short line on her leg down to her feet. She also has blisters on the palms of her hands/fingers and on her feet. The hand of her sprained wrist has stayed very swollen. She has taken ibuprophen, for the swelling and then took benedryl for the rash which has progressively gotten worse over the past three days. She has no other symptoms. No fever, no nausea, no headaches, no shortness of breath, nothing. The rash is no where else on her body.

Hi,

As per your query, your daughter has rashes on hands and legs which is mainly due to an allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you keep this area clean and dry. You should apply warm compresses with a soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. If the condition doesn't get better then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for a lab test. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, antibiotics like clindamycin along with anti-inflammatory medications.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
