My son is 17, he has what I would call a heat rash for a couple of weeks now. It did not change until a couple of days ago when it had spread down his arm and now on his abdomen. They are approximately 1-2 mm, light pink and circular. He is afebrile, 98.8/temporal. He has told me it doesn t itch until he scratches it, so of course I told him not to scratch it, but I m sure he has some. What do you think?
Hello, Perhaps it is either a viral exanthem, an eruption that may either precede, accompany or follow a viral infection Or it could be a heat rash. I suggest him to use a soothing lotion e.g. calamine lotion. In addition, I suggest him to take an oral antihistamine e.g. Tab cetirizine 10 mg once a day for a few days for symptomatic relief from itching.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
