Could it be poison ivy? or something like that?? Has he recently changed soaps or lotions or have you changed laundry detergent? if so it may be contact dermatitis. Could it be a heat rash?? I know its hard but try to have him not scratch, that may be what is spreading it. Until you take him to the doctor, just try to make him comfortable. Do a google search for "skin rashes".
Good luck and God Bless.

If you think it may be an allergy, you might give him some Children's Benadryl (at night) and they also have the Benadryl spray to go right on the rash to relieve him until you take him to the doc. I have used this before and it works pretty good. Can also try Lanacaine ointment. Did he eat anything new or unusual lately or has he been outside in the woods? Might be poison ivy or poison oak, or if he hasn't been outside he may have gotten it from another child. Try the anti-itch stuff to get the itching under control because if he keeps scratching, it sounds like it will definitely keep spreading quickly. Good Luck!

It sounds to me like something I would get from time to time as a child. I think it was called eczema (spelling?)
Get some Benadryl spray and then check out web MD. If it just itches, it may also be poison oak etc. Benadryl spray or Calimine with help 100%!

a homeopathic skin doctor can solve the problem permanently
Ity's usually too much fire food/drinks your child has been exposed to
so too much soda, sugar, meat.
water, rice, vegetables, fruits and no citrus fruits
the doctor will give you pills to treat the rash
they will help temporarily.
Good luck

I would ckeck out website for eczema. I have something similar, it's prickly heat. when it gets real hot out and i sweat. certain parts of my body like the crease of my elbows and knees, my neck and stomach get this itchy, stingy rash. i use Aveeno hydracortisone cream and it goes away in a couple days.
Good Luck!!! :):)

he needs to see the doctor and get a prescription for steriod cream...that will take care of the rash...it is most likely an unknown allergy reaction.
