Question 1

svr head/ear itch with bad neck rash. did two lice trtmnt and nothing came off. son had lice. in a lot of pain. constant itch/scratch till bleed.

Accepted Answer

No rash with lice: Lice don't cause a rash. You may have a reaction to the anti-lice treatment, or may have something like scalp fungus or something totally different. Best bet is to get examined by a  healthcare provider.

Question 3

son has a rash all over his body except head and face. a little itchy. hands and feet have little tiny blisters. no fever no mouth sores?

Accepted Answer

Need Dermtologist: A widespread rash such as what you have described especially with blistering demands immediate attention preferably by a dermatologist.  Without fever in an otherwise healthy individual conditions such as allergic reactions or immune mediated blistering diseases need to be considered and worked up by a dermatologist.

Question 4

my 1year and six months son has swellings on the head and a red rash like on the buttoms.what may be the cause?

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor: From the description there are possibly two separate problems. "Swellings on the head" could have several causes starting with bug bites and much more. The same is true for the rash on "bottom". There is not enough information given fo formulate a cause. Additionally diagnosing skin conditions without visual inspection is challenging. See your doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

my 18 month old son has a rash on the right side of his head/forehead. it's a little itchy to him but it doesn't hurt. i'm not sure what it is?

Accepted Answer

A localized rash on: one side of the head is most consistent with a contact allergic rash or dermatitis, especially if it is itchy.  To confirm, a photo or exam is most helpful.  Those usually clear in a week or so, but in the meantime, topical creams for itching,  which can include hydrocortisone cream, may be helpful.  A fungal infection,ringworm, is usually coin shaped, and impetigo is moist and crusty.

Question 6

my son has rash around his eyes going up to his head its reddish.. he keeps scratching his eyes and fisting his head his eyes are watery and the right on is reddish.. what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Rashes usually require a direct exam unless it is described in specific detail, which is not available here. Eczema, atopic dermatitis, baby acne, &amp; other issues may be at play. I would have the kid seen as treatment if any requires an appropriate diagnosis.

Question 7

my son 2months old  has rash around his eyes going up to his head its reddish.. he keeps scratching his eyes and fisting his head his eyes are watery and the right on is reddish.. what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Red rash: An itchy rash in a two month old could be a variety of causes.  It is possible to be a viral rash, an irritation from a perfume in a soap or item of clothing, or allergic cause.  An associated red eye is more likely to be an infection of some sort.  Is he feeding well? Any fever? Have a visit with a physician to get a thorough exam and diagnosis!

Question 8

our son has a rash- it started on the nape of his neck and chin and shoulders and is now all over his face, head and inner arms. diagnosis??

Accepted Answer

Needs to be checked: Can be anything : allergy, virus, scabies, ets

Question 9

my son has had a rash from head to toe for 24 hrs and benedril isnt working. shouls i take him to the hospital because it says he shouldnt have more than 6 doses in 24 hoyrs?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Tough to say without seeing the rash or knowing his history.  At the very least i think you should call his pediatrician or primary care physician, describe the symptoms, and see what they recommend.  If you are unable to get through to them, then i would suggest taking him to the er for an evaluation.

Question 10

my son has a section of rash on his head. it was full of puss filled pimples, which have now gone away as my doctor prescribed quadriderm which we have been applying. what concerns me now is that the section of the rash is raised quite substantially.

Accepted Answer

Healing process: The skin involved will likely remained thickened for the weeks it takes for the body to process all the factors of repair/healing.I would give it some time before I consider it abnormal.
