Allergic rash: See your dermatologist for evaluation and treatment of your rash. There are treatments that will work even if you don't know the cause of the rash.

If your dermatologist suspects an external contact agent they can perform patch tests to look for.

Allergic rash: How long ago were the steroid pills given? They will take a day or two to work. It is important for you to be followed by an individual doctor so they can judge the course of your condition. Preferably a dermatologist but that may not be practical. There is also topical cream you can use.  Also the dose of the steroid pills might need to be adjusted.

Question 10

4mo boy has red irregular shapes rashes on face at night, disappear within one hour or so. rashes not above skin.don't see at day time. what are they?

Accepted Answer

They sound like they: could be hives, which may be a reaction to something in his environment or something he is eating (if he is on solid foods). Has he been recently weaned from breast milk? Have him seen by his pediatrician, or if the rash isn't there at all during the day, try to take a photo and show it to his doctor.
