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?

Reply:Benadryl creme or Benadryl oral medication.
Reply:Benadryl. Or topical steroid cream. You should be able to get versions of both at your drugstore without a prescription. Aveeno oatmeal baths (or similar) are also soothing, as is calomine lotion.





However, if he is having a serious reaction (rash that is spreading, fever, any difficulty breathing) please take him to an ER right away. The perfumes they use in those things are usually the problem, but you never know.
Reply:My friends baby is highly allergic to certain soaps.


So they bathe him in a special oat meal bath.





Also if he gets into something hes allergic to, they quickly give him a bath with the oat meal soap, and it helps to relieve the reaction. But I would consult his doctor, he may have a serious condition.
Reply:this has always worked for my 4 kids.. benadryl capsule or tablet, and lanacane spray! INSTANT relief. this has worked for 8 years now for my kids. good luck!
Reply:Give him some Benadryl (if he's old enough) and put Calamine lotion on the irritated part of his legs. There's also an anti-itch spray out that's really great. I can't remember what brand it is, but they probably have it at your local Walgreens.
