A. Itching in childhood is mainly associated with skin diseases. Systemic disease and drug reactions are rare compared to adults. Itchy skin conditions in children include eczema (particularly atopic dermatitis), rashes, infections/infestations, urticaria/mastcytosis, autoimmune disorders, and hereditary dermatoses .If your child has a rash of small, bright-red or purple spots or bruises that do not turn white (blanch) when you push on them, along with a fever, headache, stiff neck or back pain, seek medical advice immediately from your GP or nearest hospital emergency department.Wash the skin once with soap to remove any irritants.Steroid Cream. For relief of itching, use 1% hydrocortisone cream (such as Cortaid). Put it on the most itchy areas. ...Cool Bath. For flare-ups of itching, give your child a cool bath. ...Scratching. Try to keep your child from scratching
