What Do Red Rashes On Hands,knuckles And Elbows Suggest?

My 7 year old son has red rough rash on both hands around knuckles and both elbows were real red earlier but have gotten better. He also had what appeared to be signs of redness showing on legs. I have given him Benadryl and cortisone cream twice today and it seems to help but symptoms are still present.

Your child is suffering from Urticaria(a type of rashes) on the exposed areas mostly due to Sun burn. I advise you to give him Ebast suspension- 5ml twice a day for 5 days and Lobate GM cream to be applied on the rashes for a week. Avoid exposure to the sun as much as possible.
