Red Patches on Abdominal Areas, back & c
Dear Doctor,
My son is 9 years old and has had red patches on his abdominal area and back/chest for the past 6 days. I consulted a pediatrician, who prescribed calamine lotion and fexofenadine syrup. However, there has been no improvement in the affected areas.
For your reference, I have attached a photo of the patches.
Could you please advise what steps I should take next? Should I consult a pediatrician again or see a dermatologist?
What could be the possible cause of this condition?
Are there any specific precautions I should follow?
How long does it usually take to treat this type of skin issue?
Is it something serious?
Kindly guide me.
