What causes itching and rashes on palm and fingers of a 4 year old?
Patient: Our four year old daughter was itching her palms and fingers through the night. She seemed really bothered by how much they itched. This morning I looked at them closer and there are red spots, like a rash on her palms. I just don t know what the rash is, what it could be from, if it s an allergic reaction to something and how to treat it. She says nothing else is itching. Doctor: Hi, rash on palms with history of 1 day could be due to insect bite. In insect bite, there is itching and redness at the region of insect bite. In my opinion, you should give hydroxizine syrup 5 ml PO three times a day for 3 days. I advice you to revert back with some good pictures of the skin lesions to confirm the diagnosis. Take care.
