What Causes Rashes On The Arms Upon Application Of Aloe Vera Cream?

Hello well yesterday my son put some aloe vera on his arms and then about maybe an hour later used some sunblock on the same part of his arms, and then the next day he had rashes on his arms, could he be allergic to the aloe? If so what do I do about it?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Appearance of rash after applying aloe vera cream indicates local allergic reaction.
Kindly stop the application. Kindly give him antihistaminic medication such as ceterizine once a day for 3 days.
Consult Dermatologist before application any of such preparation next time.
Hop the information provided helps.
Best wishes.
