Rash all over body no fever
Hello doctor, my son is 8 months old and he has this rash all over the body including genitals, around the eyes. Very dense on the stomach and the back of neck. Its all over the body. We visited pediatrician two days ago and at that time it was not this much widespread. Now it is increased. Doctor said it could be allergy and gave anti histamine drops and topical cream for itching.
Baby did not get fever. It appears itchy. Most itchy in the night. What could be the problem? Today is the third day.
