A member asked:

Son is in pain skin stinging and itching no real rash present. put ice and vaseline on any suggestions? son is 7

Try Benedryl: If he is itchy you may try the children's benedryl too. Watch for a while to see if any rash or blisters appear it he has come into contact with a allergen;bush/plant. I am assuming this is just some part of his body and not the whole body. May also try Hydrocortisone cream topically.
