A. Apart from food allergy, she could be allergic to bathing soap aswell. This happened with my child when once I changed his soap and once I tried new shampoo. This can also happen due to detergent used for cleaning cloth or cleaning dohar. Your child’s skin can also be sensitive to a particular type of dust. Observe if it’s sand or mud or clay or play dough. For allergy, an observation is really important. One can treat any allergy for time being via medicine but it can come again if root cause is not known. For food allergy, either get the allergy test done which is quite expensive or daily note down in a diary about what your child ate in entire day and mark the day allergy erupts. After few occurrence look for pattern. Suggestions here is based on my personal experience.

A. Check for foods which cause allergy if so yes Plz visit your peadtrician he may suggest some specialist later pls go to skin specialist, and dnt apply anything without counslting to doctor, as sometimes it may spread too. it seems like some bacterial infections.
