My 6.5-year-old son has red rashes on his body. What can I do?

Red rashes in children can be caused by allergies, infections, or irritation. Keep the skin clean and dry, avoid scratching, and dress him in loose cotton clothes. You can apply a mild soothing cream or calamine lotion. Since rashes in kids can sometimes indicate infection, see a pediatrician.

Medication Side Effect: Atarax Drops (containing Hydroxyzine) may cause side effects such as dizziness, headache, vomiting, nausea, weakness, constipation, sleepiness, upset stomach, and diarrhea. Most side effects are mild and resolve over time, but if they worsen or persist, consult a doctor.

Self-care Tips:

  1. Avoid known irritants – Identify and stay away from substances that may cause skin redness or rash, such as certain soaps, detergents, or allergens.
  2. Keep the affected skin clean and dry – Gently wash with mild soap and water, then pat dry to prevent infection.
  3. Use moisturizers regularly – Applying fragrance-free, gentle moisturizers can help soothe and protect the skin barrier.
  4. Wear loose, breathable clothing – This reduces irritation and allows the skin to heal.
  5. Avoid scratching the affected area – Scratching can worsen redness and increase the risk of infection.

If the redness persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
