What causes redness in eye area with itchy and blistered skin?
Patient: My 8 year old son suffers from allergies. He gets severe reddness under both eyes and across the bridge of his nose. His skin looks blistery in the red areas. The skin is bright red like the color of a sun burn. He says in only itches now and then. The rest of his face in normal colored. Please advise. Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.By what you quote it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
