Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes On The Skin

my daughter has an itchy rash that doesn t seem like bed bugs. No friends she s traveled with have the same symptoms and our house is not infected. And it seems that after a week, bed bug bites should get better. This isn t getting better. They are red bumps on her legs and are in whips or lines. She feels fine other than itching, but it is not getting better with calamine lotion.

Hello Dear. Your daughter might be having some allergic rashes. Allergy can develop due to several reasons- some foods like egg, fish, pollen grains, animal hair, nylon, terylene clothes. Just try to find out what you are allergic to & avoid it. Try home remedies. Apply coconut oil daily three times a day for one week. If she is not better consult a dermatologist. It can be fungal infection or eczema. Fungal infection can be treated with tablet fluconazole 150mg once a week for 3 weeks and candid cream for local application. Eczema can get better with betnovate ointment and anti-histaminics like cetrizine or avil.
