Best way to treat an allergic reaction (skin irritation)?

My bf's son took a bath with a lush bath bomb, and it looks like he had a bad reaction because his legs are all itchy now. What's the best way to make him feel better?

Best way to treat an allergic reaction (skin irritation)?
give him some benedryl and have him take another bath. Lukewarm water with either an oatmeal solution for sensitive skin if you have it or baking soda. Both are really good for soothing the skin. When he's done with his bath dry him very well but don't rub only pat the skin. If at all possible make sure he has cotton pajama's on since it will prevent the skin from getting more irritated when he sweats tonight.
Reply:Children's Benadryl ...it comes in liquid form for children...
Reply:wet, cold and cooked oatmeal soothes irritated skin or take him to a dermatologist if that doesnt ease that itch
Reply:Cortizone cream. You can get it over the counter. It should help a lot, that's what my daughter's doctor reccomended.
