What Else Besides Benadryl Can Red Rashes Be Treated With?
hi , my 15 year old son woke this morning with a red rash all over his buttocks, a bit on the insides of his arms, a few on his back. two nites prior he had spent the night at a friends. He slept in the basement in a lounge chair. i gave him liguid benydril , it hasnt seemed to help. He said it doesnt really bother him, not much itching. we do not currently have Health Ins. so I cant afford to take him in unless necessary.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The rash may not be due to the things happened 2 days before. Try to find the things happened day before.
The reason could be the foods, cosmetics,soap, clothes, or wool.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, andmontelekast. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

welcome to health care magic
In my opinion your son is suffering from allergic contact dermatitis.
you should apply some moderately potent steroid cream like methyle prednisolone or betamethasone on his rash.
In addition you can give him antihistamines like levo citrizine or loratadine once daily .
