Hi Doc, I’m a single dad to a 5-year-old boy who absolutely loves playing outdoors. The past couple of months I’ve noticed that every time he spends a few hours outside, he ends up with small red rashes on his skin that seem to itch a lot. It usually goes away in a day or two, but it’s happening often, especially during playdates in the park or on sunny afternoons. I’m worried if this could be some sort of sun allergy, a reaction to something in the environment, or just sensitive skin. How do I figure out the cause? Are there any preventive measures I can take without restricting his outdoor time?

Ans: Please consult a dermatologist when he has the rashes

Hi Dr My son is 5. He often gets rashes on his body. Since he is a very active kid we give him a bath twice a day and regularly advice him to wash his hands and face. His specialist recommended Dermadew. But the problems reoccurs every few months.

Ans: Harsh soaps will prad to dryness. Use Dermadew or Aquasoft body wash instead of soap. Continue use of moisturizer post bath.

I am 50 years old and have diabetes. I have noticed rashes on the lower part of my legs (around the shins or just above the ankles), and I often feel itching in that area. I typically wear jeans and sit in an office for 9 hours a day. Six months ago, I had a similar issue, and when I visited a doctor, he prescribed an anti-allergic and some ointment, which resolved the problem. However, the rashes reappeared about a month ago in the same area. Please help me understand the reason for this and suggest a permanent solution.

Ans: Though it is possible that you have rashes due to Diabetes related complications but more chances are those rashes are unrelated or may be allergic.
It would be a good idea to give it a try for some anti-allergen and then lotions. Please consult a skin specialist in person. The rashes and skin things should be better consulted and examined in person.
Thereafter, other approaches can be followed.

Best wishes,
Dr Chandrakant Lahariya

My son gets these itchy rashes after eating certain snacks or playing outside. We have seen it sometimes on his arms and neck. Sometimes they show up after an hour. It doesn't happen every time, so I am really confused. How do I know if it is a food allergy, a reaction to something in the environment like pollen or grass, or just sensitive skin?

Ans: You need to see a dermatologist for thos
