Skin issue
My toddler developed this type of skin issue last monday. Earlier it was lesser after consulting a dermatologist he suggested tetzine and desowean for 10 days. After one day of giving both medicines the situation worsens, maybe for medicine or scratching. Then he changed desowen to momate F. Now my question is : Is it papular urticaria or anything other or viral. He doesn't have any fever and he developed very little of this type in leg also. Is the diagnosis right?

Hello
From the photo, this looks more like an allergic rash / eczema with scratching changes rather than a typical papular urticaria.
You can continue Tetzine as prescribed. Apply Momate-F as prescribed.
For symptomatic relief, you may apply calamine lotion or Atarax lotion 2–3 times daily. Also:
* Avoid scratching the area.
* Keep the skin well moisturized with emollient.
* Use mild soap.
Please consult your pediatrician if the rash spreads, becomes very red, develops oozing/crusting, swelling, fever, or if the itching is severe.
