Red rashes in hand
My baby girl one year 10 months old. She has got severe rashes in hand. She's scratching a lot. I think it's insect bite. But I'm not sure. Pls tell us what to do. I applied coconut oil. Yesterday it seemed reducing but today again it has increased. Can I put candid cream? She mostly plays with potato. Does potato cause rashes and itching

If only in this hand, not in other parts of body, can be due to Insect bite.. You can Apply CALAMINE lotion locally 3to4 times/day.. If severe itching syp. CETZINE 5ml daily once can be given for 2 days
If itching, redness increase needs a dermatology opinion
