A. If your 8-year-old has red, itchy rashes, possible causes include: 🔹 Common Causes of Itchy Rashes 1️⃣ Allergies – Food, soap, detergent, or fabric reactions. 2️⃣ Heat Rash – Due to sweat accumulation. 3️⃣ Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) – Dry, itchy skin with redness. 4️⃣ Fungal or Bacterial Infection – Ringworm, impetigo, or other infections. 5️⃣ Insect Bites – Mosquito or bug bites. 6️⃣ Viral Rash – Due to fever or viral illness. 🔸 What You Can Do at Home ✅ Moisturize Regularly Apply coconut oil, baby lotion, or dermatologist-recommended moisturizer. ✅ Avoid Scratching Keep nails short and clean. Use cotton gloves at night if scratching is severe. ✅ Use a Mild Soap & Detergent Switch to fragrance-free soap and detergent. ✅ Give an Oatmeal Bath Soak in lukewarm water with ground oatmeal for 10 minutes. ✅ Apply Calamine Lotion Helps soothe itching and irritation. ✅ Loose Cotton Clothing Avoid synthetic fabrics that trap heat. 🚨 When to See a Doctor? ❌ If rashes spread or worsen. ❌ If there is fever, pus, or pain. ❌ If the child has difficulty breathing (allergic reaction).
