Hi,,

From what you said, the possibilities are an allergic rash or scabies. In scabies, the itching is more sever at night, and there can be similar illness in others in the same household. If allergic, we can use an antihistamine and topical calamine / steroid. Scabies need whole body application of creams like permethrin and hot wash + sun light drying of all clothes, ideally of all members in the house simultaneously.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
