My daughter has a rash on her back.....?

Question

at the very top of her back. I think she gets it from the tags that are in the back of her shirt. What should i put on her rash...and suggestions?

Answer 1

Cut the tags out of her shirts or buy the tagless ones. Hydrocortisone Cream is good for rashes. Good luck

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

If the rash itches then calamine lotion would be good. If the rash is more of and open sore, stay away from putting things on it and just cover it up with gauze or something that will keep it from getting irritated. Cut the tags off of her shirts and see if it goes away. If not then take her to the doctor.

Answer 4

Agree with the above - cut the tags off. Or a good old fashioned vest helps of course.

If the rash is really inflamed you will need a steroid cream from the doctor, maybe combined with an anti-histamine.

Answer 5

I've never heard of a rash caused by the tags on a shirt, but you never know. Just cut out the tags in her shirts and see if it goes away after awhile. If not, then I'm guessing it's not from the shirt tags.

Answer 6

If it's just around the by the tag...maybe some kind of anti itch creme! BUT if it's all over her back..she may be allergic to the detergent you're using or her skin might be sensitve to the fabric softner...all my kids PLUS myself have to watch what our clothes are washed in...or we all break out in a rash!

Answer 7

My daughter had the same problem. Cut the tags off. Some brands have no tags. No tags=no problem.

Answer 8

my daughter is the same way it's just because she has such sensitive skin. Go tagless or cut the tags out. It will help
