Suggest Treatment For Rashes Behind The Ears

my son has has a weeping rash behind his ears for some time. he is unwell at the moment with a virus i think. I have just noticed that he has little red bloodclot like dots behind both ears and has them down his neck and under his chin. also there seems to be some coming up on his face too. should i take him to the hospital now as he has been feeling sick and had tummy pains the last few days.

Hi.
As per your case history your son is probably having viral rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take plenty of fluids and diet rich in vitamin c.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine once daily and tab. Vitamin c once daily.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
