What Is The Treatment For A Rash?

I have a 13 year old son. Had pink eye, broke out in rash on face. Dr took him off of drops, now has rash on legs, arms, stomach and back. They r tiny red bumps that itch. However on his face it only turns red like he has been burned. What do I do? They have put him on steroids and I gave him Benadryl about 1 hour ago

Hi....by what you quote it looks like acute urticaria Or eeczema. His treatment is going in the right direction. Steroids and Benadryl will do their best. It will take 3-4 days for complete resolution. You need not worry. But if he developes joint pains, pain in tummy or blood in stools you need to get back to the doctor.
