What To Do For Skin Rashes Which Is Itching?
5 month old began showing skin rash last week. Small res bumps, covering entire back and also on face, though not as much. I presumed it was from either laundry detergent or her bath soap not being rinsed as well. The small bumps on her face seem to have dissipated, the small bumps on her back are still there. We are now staying in a hotel for the week, and she took a dip in the pool. She now has bright pink splotchy looking rash going up into her hairline and behind her ears. It seems to itch.

Hello,
As per your case-history of itching. My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily.
3. Other options are atarax syrup, azithral syrup taken after consulting a dermatologist.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
