What Causes Recurring Itchy Rashes On The Body Of A Child?
I have a 7year old grandson with a rash that comes and goes, very itchy , covering most of body. Also has swollen lymph nodes in neck, arm pits, And groin. Doctors and allergists cannot seem to agree on anything. He is not hurting,yet the rash and swollen nodes are very troubling g to us. Has been tested for cancer , also a skin biopsy which showed not much of anything. Allergists cannot figure it out so far. Any suggestions as to where to turn?

Hello,
Check if rashes occur after eating a certain type of food, wearing any particular shirt/talc/perfume, bathing soap, etc. You can use aloevera gel over the problematic area and take vit E orally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
